About Demographic Slides:
•In TurningPoint, a demographic question is any
one that allows grouping students in some
category.
•Demographics include familiar items like age,
gender, religion, family size, etc.
•Other items that can categorize a student include
prerequisites completed, professional goals,
number of credits being taken, hours per week
spent on a part time job, etc.
In this tutorial you will:
Create slides asking for
demographic information
‘Tell’ TurningPoint that a slide is
demographic
Extract the Participant List to link
responses to demographic
questions to student names
Creating Slides Asking for
Demographic Information, and
‘Telling’ Turningpoint that a Slide
is in Fact Demographic
Click on Insert Slide
on the TP toolbar and
select Vertical Slide to
create a TP slide.
Type a stem and
responses. To tell
TP that this is a
demographic slide…
…click on the eyeglass
icon on the TP toolbar,
click on demographic in
the dropdown Settings
window.
The default highlight
is False; click on
True.
Finally, click Done.
…You will be returned to the slide.
TurningPoint now ‘knows’ that the slide solicits a
demographic response, allowing you to group
responses to other questions in the current TP
session by demographic profile.
Let’s link the demographic responses to the
participant list, allowing correlations of
demographic items to any other question in future
TP sessions.
Extracting the Participant List to
Link Responses to Demographic
Questions to Student Names
To link student demographic data to a participant
list at the end of a presentation session
containing demographic responses:
click on the Save Session icon (the floppy disk on
the TP toolbar).
In the TurningPoint Save Session window, give the
session a name that you will recognize later…
Then click Save to save the session.
After being retuned to your last slide, click Tools, then
Turning Reports.
In the Turning Report Wizard – Current Session window,
select Extract Participant List, then click Next.
In this window, select My Session Files, highlight the
session file containing responses to demographic
questions and then click Extract Participant List.
In the Save Edited Session window, highlight and click
the Participant List you are modifying; it appears in the
File Name box. Click Save.
Note: you may give the Participant List a new name before saving it.
If you do not want to give the extracted Participant
File a new name, click Yes to this prompt.
Here, click OK, then Finish.
You will be returned to your presentation. Let’s check the
participant List. Click on the arrow next to Participants
on the TP toolbar, then on Edit a Participant List.
Highlight the Participant List you
just modified, and click Open.

Use the scroll bar in the Participant Information window to
see the student-linked responses to your demographic
questions.
Using your extracted Participant List:
Each time you load this Participant List for a
new session/presentation, you will be able to
generate reports correlating student responses
to new session questions with demographic
data collected earlier.
Note: Starting at Turning Reports in Tools, you can link demographic
data from any session to a Participant List at any time.
