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.

How does an instructor get started using a course with iClicker?

Faculty need to go through three steps to set up their course to use the iClicker system.

  1. Go to https://www.iclicker.com/ and create an instructor account using their okstate.edu email address. Stillwater and Tulsa faculty should select Oklahoma State University Main Campus as their primary institution.
  2. Create a course within your iClicker.com account. Begin the course name with the department code and course number (e.g. PHYS 1114 Intro to Physics).
  3. Integrate the course on iClicker.com with Canvas. Go to the course within iClicker.com, click on Settings, and go to the Integrations tab. Click on the Connect to Canvas button and once logged in, select the course site on Canvas.

What is the benefit of integrating the iClicker course with Canvas?

Once course listings in Canvas and iClicker have been integrated, an instructor will be able to see his full student list within iClicker and they will have the option to transfer any points scored within iClicker to Canvas.

 

How does a student access the course in iClicker?

The student will need to download the iClicker Student app to their mobile device and set up an account using their Student ID and OKEY credentials. Once they have created their account they will be able to search for and add themselves to the course within the iClicker app.

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.  This will create a floating control bar that can be used to create poll questions and collect responses. Instructor computers in general use classrooms have iClicker Cloud added to them.

 

Can iClicker be used with remote instruction?
