As a Mac user, frustrated that TP for Mac does not yet work with the most current version of Mac Office, and thus constrained to use it on a PC, I was looking forward to the new update to TP AnyWhere for Mac. However, the new version lacks a very basic mechanism for exporting scores and/or grades to a spreadsheet like Excel. All it can generate are reports. Actually, this is true for the PC version, too. Perhaps this is not a problem for others, but for me and my colleagues, this makes both versions of TP AnyWhere basically useless, and leaves Mac users without any version of TP that will both collect and export grades from clicker sessions. I'd be interested to hear how other Mac users are coping with this restriction. Or perhaps to correct my understanding about the functionality of the software for Mac use. Moreover, how will PC users be making use of the scores and/or grades generated by polling with TP AnyWhere for PC?
