Overview
Echo360 bought out Turning Technologies and has made changes to account creation. If your instructor tells you to use a module through Canvas to create your account, you can do so. If you have any questions or problems in creating the account, please contact the OIT HelpDesk.
IMPORTANT:
It is your responsibility to periodically check your grades in Canvas throughout the semester to ensure your grades are being appropriately uploaded and you are receiving points in class.
Do NOT wait until the end of the semester to alert your instructor and OIT that you have not been regularly receiving clicker grades/points. Failure to notify your instructor and OIT in time may result in an inability to recover points, which may significantly impact your grade.
