eResponseWareThis guide has been written for students wanting to use TurningTechnologies ResponseWare in sessions that are using the TurningPoint Electronic Voting System (EVS).

ResponseWare is a web-based service the enables you to partake in TurningPoint EVS sessions by voting on your own smartphone or web-enabled device. Voting via ResponseWare is an alternative to using a Radio Frequency TurningPoint EVS handset. EVS Handsets can be borrowed from the Library.

ResponseWare client apps are available for Apple iOS (iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad), Android and BlackBerry. Alternatively the service can be used from any web-enabled device that has a web browser that supports AJAX, JavaScript™ and HTTP requests (e.g. Internet Explorer® 7 or higher, Firefox® 2 or higher, Opera™ 9 or higher, Netscape® 8 or higher, Safari® 3 or higher)

ResponseWare will work with any type of network connectivity but you are advised to connect to the University of Surrey wi-fi network in order to avoid using your 3G allowance or incurring charges.
