We’ve put together onboarding resources you can download, customize, and share with your students to help them register properly for your iClicker course and get ready to participate in your iClicker activities. Syllabus Templates These templates include language you can copy and paste into your course syllabus document or Learning Management System. The highlighted sections of text are intended to be customized based on how exactly you will be using iClicker in your course. Because the syllabus templates contain links to helpful articles on our support website, we recommend sharing this information with your students virtually so they can easily access those links. First Day of Class Slides Our first day of class slide decks provide student registration information in a more visual format. These slides are intended to be customized based on how exactly you will be using iClicker in your course. You can present the slides to your students during class time at the start of the term, or post them online to walk students through the steps they must take to properly register for your iClicker course. These resources differ based on whether you are using the iClicker Cloud or iClicker Classic instructor software, whether you are utilizing a grade sync option in your course, or whether you are teaching a virtual class. Choose the scenario that is most relevant to your course: iClicker Cloud I am using iClicker Cloud for a virtual class. I am integrating iClicker Cloud with Achieve. I am integrating iClicker Cloud with my LMS (requires prior setup by a campus administrator). I am downloading grades from iClicker Cloud and manually importing them to my LMS.

iClicker is hard at work devising a solution to reduce the time and effort required for students to first join your live session of class, and we are seeking faculty volunteers to test this new feature in January 2021. The “quick join” feature we’re working on will allow you to access and share a unique code for each of your iClicker Cloud courses. Students can use this code to be added directly to the course upon creating an account or signing in to iClicker Reef. Our goal with this feature is to enable students to join the first live session of your course—whether in person or virtually—in less than a minute, minimizing the time spent in those first days of class onboarding students to iClicker. If you are interested in being a part of this beta test group, please complete the following questionnaire. ... View more
