• Important Notes
• The student response data gathered in a
  presentation is stored in a session (.tpz) file
  by TurningPoint.
• You must save session data before closing out
  your TurningPoint presentation. If you dont,
  you will lose the data from that class
  presentation
• After you close your session you should transfer
  the session file from the classroom to your
  office computer.

• Bring your flash drive back to your
• office computer.
• Boot up, plug in the flash drive.
• Copy the tpz (and other) files saved
• from your presentation.
• NOTE If you can access your X-Drive or G-Drive
  from your office or home computer, you can
  directly copy the .tpz files without using a
  flash drive.

Important .tpz files must be in the Sessions
folder on the computer you will use to view,
maintain and report data.

Cautionary Notes .tpz files are zipped
(compressed), containing response data and a copy
of your presentation file. Presentation files
with embedded movie clips, animations and other
images can generate .tpz files in excess of 20
MB. An X-Drive is not likely to hold all
presentations from a single semester. Even a 512
MB flash drive can only hold 10 really big
session files. After copying .tpz files to
your office computer, delete them from the
classroom computer and from your flash drive as
well.
