PointSolutions registration for faculty

Learn how to register for a PointSolutions account to begin polling in the classroom.

All users need a PointSolutions account. You will need to register for an instructor account in order to use PointSolutions for student engagement and assessment in the classroom.

A PointSolutions account can be created directly from WebCampus by clicking on the Turning Account Registration link found under Account on the global navigation menu. PLEASE NOTE PointSolutions by Echo360 was formerly TurningPoint by Turning Technologies. You will still see references to TurningPoint in the provided documentation.

Both you and your students will use this link to create a PointSolutions account and connect it to your WebCampus account. The connection between the two accounts makes it possible for you to push student participation grades directly to the WebCampus gradebook.
