The educational convergence project driven by the European Higher Education Area (EHEA) has created new teaching methods and evaluation processes in university education systems. This new pedagogical approach generates an unquestionable opportunity for different segments of the university community see ICTs as an essential tool of the procedure of educational content development, which facilitate the teaching-learning process. This article presents the TurningPoint tool, which focuses on promoting teacher-student interactions, facilitating participation and ongoing assessment. This tool has advantages over other existing applications because of its variety of utilities and potential use. Moreover, it has been successfully used in several programs promoted by the Faculty of Economics of the University of Valencia.
