iClicker

Student response systems are an instructional technology tool that creates interactivity between instructor and student to facilitate student engagement. The iClicker system can be used to take attendance, check for student understanding during instruction, and assess student learning after instruction. The iClicker Student app allows students to engage using their own smart device or an iClicker device.

Students will be charged $3 per semester for as many courses as needed. They just download the iClicker Student app to their device and set up an account using their OKEY credentials. ITLE will bill students’ Bursar accounts after the drop/add date.

What functions does iClicker have?

iClicker has multiple uses including taking attendance, taking live/synchronous student polls, and asynchronous quizzes. Each of these features can be either graded or ungraded and made available to students for future studying.

What is needed to use iClicker during a class session?

To use iClicker, the presenter’s computer will need to be running the iClicker Cloud software (https://www.iclicker.com/downloads/iclicker-cloud/).
