The Office of Instructional Design and Delivery offers workshops and support for the following software packages:

     TurningPoint (clickers)
TurningPoint is the adopted Student Response System (SRS) at Salisbury University. Faculty can use TurningPoint to poll students inside Microsoft PowerPoint. Live data is collected and displayed within the slideshow to show responses from students. For more information on this software and how to adopt it for use in your course, please visit our Clickers Website.

   Plagiarism Prevention
SafeAssign is the plagiarism prevention software that is used in conjunction with our course management system. This service is used to check student paper submissions for possible plagiarism. This service can also be used to instruct students on the practice of proper source citation. You must have a MyClasses account in order to use SafeAssign.

iTunes U
iTunes U provides faculty the ability to upload customized podcasts and vodcasts that they want students to download to their iPod or mp3 player. This service requires that the faculty member requests an account to have an area for uploads of files. If you wish to have an account, please fill out our request form.

     Respondus
Respondus is a test authoring and generating software package. Many publishers provide tests and quizzes through this service, which can be downloaded and customized. Faculty can also create their own original tests with this software and upload them automatically to their MyClasses course. For more information on publisher-provided exams and quizzes, you can search the Respondus database.

   Respondus LockDown Browser
Respondus LockDown Browser is a custom browser that locks down the testing environment within MyClasses. Students are locked into the assessment and are unable to print, copy, go to another URL, or access other applications. This service is available to all faculty using MyClasses by editing the properties of their online assessments and choosing to use the LockDown Browser in the Security Settings section.
