At IU, how do I buy and register a Turning Technologies device or license?
At Indiana University, you can purchase a Turning Technologies student response device (clicker) or a license for the ResponseWare Web application at your campus bookstore or through the Turning Technologies online store; see At IU, what options exist for student response devices? Before you buy, check with all of your instructors about which options are required and/or allowed in your classes.
Note the following:
- You can use the ResponseCard XR in place of the ResponseCard RF, but not vice versa.
- For information about ResponseWare Web, see About Turning Technologies ResponseWare Web.
- You can share a handheld Turning Technologies device with
another student during the same semester as long as you are not in the
same courses. If you want to share, do not select
All Courseswhen registering the device (see below). You cannot share a ResponseWare license with another student.
After purchase, follow the appropriate steps below for your product:
