Join Polling Session

Register Your Account

Polling @ McGill (also known as the Student Response System or SRS, or previously known as clickers) is a technology-supported questioning strategy to assess students’ learning and encourage active classroom participation. At McGill, we are using a web-based polling system, called TurningPoint. During a class with polling questions, students respond from their personal device (smartphone, tablet, or laptop).

McGill University is located on land which has long served as a site of meeting and exchange amongst Indigenous peoples, including the Haudenosaunee and Anishinabeg nations. McGill honours, recognizes and respects these nations as the traditional stewards of the lands and waters on which we meet today.
