Creating a Question List in TurnigPoint Cloud
In Anywhere Polling and Self-Paced Polling, you will need a question list before you start to
poll. This is especially true with Self-Paced Polling. A question list can be created, imported, and
edited on the Content tab on the TurningPoint Dashboard.
1. From the Content tab, click on Content button, then New, and then Question List.
2. This opens the Question List Wizard (see below), where you are asked to enter a name, and
description as needed, for the question list. You can also set up the preferences for
questions on this list, for example, number of questions on the list, the question type,
number of answers for each question, etc. Click Save to continue. (Note: The settings in the
Preferences will be the default settings for all the questions on this list. You can change the
settings for individual questions when you create them.)
3. You are then taken to the Question List Editor (see below.) From there you can enter the
question text, change the question style, set correct answers, adjust question polling and
scoring options, etc. If you are using Self-Paced Polling and only need a key list, you just
need to enter or choose the correct answer for each question on the list. If you are using
Anywhere Polling, you may want to enter the text for the questions and answer choices so
the students can see them during polling. If you have a quiz in Word, you can import it to
TurningPoint as well (see instructions on page 4).
To edit the question and answer choices, click on the Pencil icon
at the end of each
question. This will open the Question Editor (see scree capture on the next page). There you
can change the options for individual questions if needed. Please note that the options are
slightly different for each question type.
After editing one question, you may use the arrows on the Question Editor to navigation
through and edit your questions on the list. When you finish, click Close to go back to the
question list window. If you need to add more questions to the list, click on the Question
button
at the top of the Question Editor. When you complete, click Save and Close.
You will be taken back to the dashboard, where you can preview your questions.

Import questions from a Word document
You can import questions into TP Cloud if you already have them in a Word document. You will
need to format the Word document first.
1. Open the Word document. Remove all the question/answer numbers and/or bullets.
Remove all unnecessary space as well.
2. Using Styles, format all question texts as Heading 1, and all answer texts as Heading 2.
(Don’t worry about its look.)
3. Save and close the Word document.
Now you can go to the Content tab and import the questions into TurningPoint Cloud.
1. Create a new question list, or edit an existing question list.
2. In the Question Editor, click on the Question button
and select Import. Find the Word document you have
formatted and click Open.
3. The Import Questions dialogue window comes up and
you will see all the questions listed. Select the
questions and click Import.
4. The questions are imported. You just need to type in
or select the correct answers for them. After that,
Save and Close the question list.
