Get Started!
Getting hold of the TurningPoint 2008 software
- On a library, teaching lab or GTA PC, go to: Start > Programs > Departments > e-Learning > TurningPoint > TurningPoint 2008
- For a personal PC or laptop [where you have software installation rights], download the software from: http://www.bath.ac.uk/lmf/download/23747
- For installation on a departmental desktop PC, contact your local IT supporter. More details [for them] are available at: http://www.bath.ac.uk/bucs/tools/software/managedsoftware/
Please note that if the TurningPoint 2008 software is installed on your personal laptop in preparation for use in teaching, the e-Learning team will be unable to provide support for hardware issues. It is strongly encouraged that if the ARS is being used, colleagues either use a GTA PC or book a laptop from AV.
