For General Chem and some other courses, students are asked to purchase a license to a polling application called PointSolutions. The polling app is used for in class engagement activities. The license allows them to run the polling app on their own smartphone or laptop device. If students prefer, they can elect to also purchase a clicker handheld device (RF LCD below) to run the polling app. The clicker purchase is not required. PointSolutions is an Echo360 service and was formerly called TurningPoint. 

Students may elect to purchase the PointSolutions license and the clicker directly from Echo360's webstore at a lower price than offered through the Bookstore. 

Students may purchase directly from the Echo360 PointSolutions webstore by logging in with their Clarkson username and password.

This resource is a guide for students to help them through the webstore purchase process.
