PointSolutions vs phyphox

The PointSolutions polling app (formerly TurningPoint) allows you to use your web-enabled device to respond to questions in real time and self-paced modes. PointSolutions is proven to increase retention and engage learners while allowing instructors to collect data to ensure comprehension. A variety of subscription options are available. FEATURES & FUNCTIONS: • Questions and response options are displayed on your device when polling is opened so that you can answer in real time or at your own pace during self-paced assessments. • Screen displays group responses, user response and indicates correct answer when polling is closed • Multiple choice, multiple response, hotspot, numeric response, true/false and short answer, open-ended question types available • Respond to attendance prompts • View courses you're enrolled in and track grade data • Ability to send messages to communicate questions or concerns to the presenter • Navigate through self-paced assessments in various ways: swiping, navigation carousel, question list view NOTE: PointSolutions mobile is compatible with iOS 13 and above.

Did you know that you are carrying a 3D magnetometer? That you can use your phone as a pendulum to measure earth's local gravitational acceleration? That you can turn your phone into a sonar? phyphox gives you access to the sensors of your phone either directly or through ready-to-play experiments which analyze your data and let you export raw data along with the results for further analysis. You can even define your own experiments on phyphox.org and share them with colleagues, students and friends. Selected Features: • A selection of pre-defined experiments. Just press play to start. • Export your data to a range of widely used formats • Remote-control your experiment through a web interface from any PC on the same network as your phone. No need to install anything on those PCs - all you need is a modern web browser. • Define your own experiments by selecting sensor inputs, defining analysis steps and creating views as an interface using our web-editor (http://phyphox.org/editor). The analysis consists of just adding two values or using advanced methods like Fourier transforms and crosscorrelation. We offer a whole toolbox of analysis functions. Sensors supported: • Accelerometer • Magnetometer • Gyroscope • Pressure • Microphone • Proximity • GPS • Camera • LiDAR/ToF *some sensors are not present on every phone. Export formats • CSV (Comma separated values) • TSV (Tab-separated values) • Excel (if you need other formats, please let us know) This app has been developed at the 2nd Institute of Physics A at the RWTH Aachen University.
