iClicker

Overview

iClicker is a student response system that allows students to interact with polls using either personal devices (phones, tablets, laptops) or iClicker remotes. 

There are two flavors of iClicker, Classic and Cloud. 

Classic iClicker 

Classic iClicker consists of base stations used by instructors and handheld remotes used by students. There are a small number of base stations still available for check out at the Technology Service Desk in the EMU, room 036.  

iClicker Cloud

iClicker Cloud is hosted online and able to be used via an application installed on an instructor's computer. To interact with the instructor, a student can install the student application on their computer or handheld device such as a cell phone or tablet. Wi-Fi access is required. 

• Handheld remotes may also be used in conjunction with iClicker Cloud. 
• For physical remote and app access availability and pricing, please visit the Duck Store website.

Support for iClicker Cloud is provided by the vendor, McMillan Learning.
