Thisapp gives instructors the ability to enable iClicker remote registration from within their course. Students click on the iClicker Registration navigation link to register their iClicker remotes without having to enter their student ID.
Get started with iClicker Classic by picking up an iClicker kit (iClicker base, connection cord, blue instructor iClicker remote, and white Student iClicker) from UO Online in PLC 68. Then follow these set-up steps to get up and running.
All necessary iClicker Classic folders and files will be created. We suggest you create and add an iClicker Classic folder to your Desktop to allow for quick access in the classroom.
Scroll down to find Screen Recording and select it. Scroll in the right box to find iClicker Classic and check the box to allow the app to record the contents of your screen.
When you open iClicker Classic the first time, you will be prompted to Register with iClicker. You do not need to register to use iClicker. Click the "Remind me later" button to bypass registration.
This site is a joint resource provided by the Teaching Engagement Program and UO Online. Situated within the Office of the Provost, our units work collaboratively to support the teaching mission of the University of Oregon.
Please note that iClicker is supported for in-class audience response only. Instructors who wish to use this technology for formal assessment purposes should note that limitations with the technology, including WiFi and cellular connectivity, might limit the feasibility of using it for assessment.
The tools in your Quercus Academic Toolbox can assist with your course delivery by Organizing Content, helping you Connect and communicate with your students, Assessing student work and providing feedback, and allowing you to Teach from a distance.
Most tools in the Academic Toolbox can assist in both online and face-to-face courses. Many tools can provide benefits in either synchronous or asynchronous teaching. Some tools have been primarily designed for one format or another (synchronous/asynchronous), however, may be adapted for any format depending on your pedagogical goals.
To learn more about different teaching modalities, please consult our Online Teaching & Learning page, arrange a consultation with a CTSI Teaching Liason, or contact your Divisional support representative.
The iClicker solution has a fee associated with it, usually paid for directly by students (although some departments may purchase the solution for their students; the exact arrangements should be confirmed on a departmental basis with the local EdTech support team).
While students can purchase iClicker licenses directly from various app stores, we have partnered with the University of Toronto Bookstore to ensure that the best price for students is through the U of T Bookstore, and not directly from online app stores. We encourage instructors considering the adoption of iClicker for their teaching to contact the U of T Bookstore in advance of their teaching to ensure there is enough stock for all their students. The U of T Bookstore can also help with other related teaching inquiries.
When using iClicker in a physical classroom, you may use an iClicker Receiver Base. Using a base station is not required if the WiFi connectivity is good in your classroom and your students are using iClicker Cloud.
The creator of the course is the course owner and maintains ultimate control of the course. This role cannot be transferred. Invited users can have either a co-instructor or teaching assistant (TA) role and will share almost all the same course permissions as the course owner.
In this scenario, each Canvas section meets on a different day and/or time, but all feed into the same Canvas gradebook. Additionally, students are allowed to attend any section regardless of their actual section registration.
The switch to remote teaching necessitated a change in the way classroom polling was conducted at JHU. Starting in the Fall 2020 semester, we transitioned the iClicker Student polling app (formerly known as iClicker REEF). This page provides information for students on how to successfully implement the iClicker Student app from Fall 2020 onward.
The iClicker Student app (formerly known as iClicker REEF Polling system) is an in-class voting system that allows students to user their phones, tablets, or laptop computers to participate in real-time voting during class. The instructions below are for students - if you are faculty in KSAS/WSE and are interested in using the iClickers in your class, please contact [email protected].
If you are setting up an account for the first time, you should use the same email address that is used by Canvas. What is this address? It's usually your
jhe...@jh.edu, unless you have changed your email in SIS. You can tell for sure by logging into then clicking on Account in the upper left of the global menu and choosing Settings. Then look in the upper right under Email Addresses and use the primary email listed.
You should also use your JHED ID (with no other information) in the last field (JHED ID). Do not use [email protected] or your student ID. JHED IDs look like jhopkin1, not like 4RGL38 (which is a student ID). Here's a graphic for reference.
During Fall 2012 and Spring 2013, there was a clicker exchange program for students who had purchased old hardware and previously paid registration fees. Over 1,500 clickers were exchanged. That program has now concluded. Going forward, anyone who needs an i>clicker2 will need to purchase one.
You can only change the frequency during an i>Clicker session. The i>clicker2 remote saves the last frequency that you entered. If you only have one clicker class, that should be it. If you have more than one, you may have to change it back to AA. The i>clicker system will alert you when a frequency other than AA is being used in a class. If you have not been told to use an alternate frequency, make sure your i>clicker is set to AA to avoind missing votes.
Clicker systems do exist which utilize smart phones, laptops, and other internet-connected devices. i>clicker has a product that enables web-based voting. However, clickers at JHU are used in classes of up to 400 students. When the number of students is so large, guaranteeing that every student will be able to connect via WiFi, 3G, or 4G is simply not possible. Because clicker participation can count towards your grade, the system needs to be as reliable as possible. Dedicated clicker units offer faster performance and better overall reliability. JHU will continue to test smartphone/internet-based clicker systems and determine if they can work for some classes.
I use my i>clicker remote for multiple classes. Do I need to register my remote for each class?
No, you only need to register once. Once you register, your registration information will automatically apply to all of the classes in which you are enrolled and using i>clicker.
What do I do if I accidentally registered the wrong remote ID?
If you register a wrong remote ID, simply remove the incorrect entry and register again with the correct information.
Please read the instructions above carefully and edit your iClicker Account Profile if needed to make sure you get credit for all your votes. If your instructor tells you that your iClicker account is not synchronizing with Canvas, you may need to update your email or JHED, here's a quick student guide on iClicker and Canvas Integration.
The Innovative Instructor Blog posts cover topics such as active learning, assessment, use of case studies in instruction, classroom management, instructional design, how to engage students, grading and feedback, collaborative learning, leading discussions, hybrid instruction, and teaching methods.
Many U-M schools and colleges are using iClicker response systems in their courses, including the College of Engineering. Check with your Engineering course instructor to find out if you will need an iClicker for your course.
iClicker remote devices are available through the U-M Tech Shop. Their website contains a full list of locations, dates, times, and accepted payment methods. The Tech Shop will also buy-back iClicker devices that are working and in good condition. Contact the Contact the Tech Shop for more information.
CAEN does NOT recommend purchasing web-clicker subscriptions. Although using a web-clicker may seem more convenient to you than using a separate iClicker device, there are a few important issues to consider:
If iClicker are used to assign points or grades for participation, then students must register their unit on Canvas. Any class requiring an iClicker will include the registration option in its Canvas site in a tool called "iClicker". Once you have registered for a class, the clicker can be identified as yours by the instructor's software.
Students that are not in the same class may share a clicker device. Each student will need to register the clicker on Canvas to earn points or grades for participation. It is not possible to share a clicker device in the same class as only one answer per device/per question is tracked by the system.
If you have difficulty getting your iClicker to work, replace all three of the batteries. Energizer AAA batteries are recommended by iClicker, and are available for purchase at the U-M Tech Shop.
If the iClicker still does not operate, you may need to exchange it for a replacement. Remember that if you get a replacement iClicker after the beginning of the term, you will need to update your registration information in Canvas, and inform your instructor so they can update the information in their copy of the i>grader software. Failure to do this will result in your iClicker responses and scores not being recorded by your instructor.
