The X-Drive When you log on to a classroom comp
uter, you are in your X-Drive. TurningPoint
stores Participant Lists and Session files in the
My Documents folder on your X-Drive, where you
can also copy and store other files.
Because you can access your X-Drive space from a
n office or home computer, we recommend that you
copy your TurningPoint files to the X-Drive and
present them from there. It is more efficient
than using a flash drive to transfer presentation
or other files! For faculty using SBA classroo
ms, contact the School of Business Administration
for instructions on use of G-Drive space for the
same purposes.
