When you hear the word iClicker, chances are you're picturing a sea of college students clicking responses to quiz questions during a lecture. While that image isn’t wrong, it’s only a fraction of what iClicker can do. Whether you’re leading a workshop, managing a classroom, or organizing a corporate town hall, iClicker’s suite of features can elevate your engagement strategy in unexpected ways.
Here are some surprising and often underused features that could change the way you approach teaching, training, or even event planning.
- Easily hold an event AND get feedback about it: Ever wished you could collect meaningful participant feedback at the end of an event, much like an exit poll in a classroom? With iClicker, now you can. Event participants’ feedback can be seamlessly gathered and reviewed from the instructor website, making it easy to understand what resonated and what could improve. This capability can be a game-changer for corporate event coordinators or educational trainers aiming to refine their approaches and amplify attendee satisfaction.
- Login … without signing up. One of iClicker's most convenient new features is its seamless login for iClicker events. Picture this: your audience scans a simple QR code, and they’re in. No accounts, no sign-ups, just straightforward participation. This makes iClicker ideal for situations where spontaneity and ease of access are essential, like town halls or large training sessions where you want everyone involved without the friction of setting up an account.
- Vote securely at town halls….and other important meetings: Need a reliable way to conduct secure voting during important meetings? iClicker’s flexibility shines here. Meeting and event attendees can use either physical clickers or the mobile app for secure, real-time polling. This feature is perfect for environments where accurate, anonymous feedback is critical—whether it’s a board meeting or a community discussion.
- Focus mode for training. In today’s world of multitasking, it’s easy for people to drift during a class, training session or meeting. iClicker’s focus mode helps ensure participants are truly engaged. This feature can focus participants’ devices to the task at hand, minimizing distractions and reinforcing active participation. It also provides the participant with interesting data about their ability to focus. It’s a valuable asset for any facilitator who wants to maximize the impact of their training or seminar.
- Get honest and anonymous feedback: iClicker’s anonymous polling feature allows you to ask tough questions and get genuine answers. Imagine posing a question like, “How do you feel about our current strategy?” or “what did you want to learn more about?” and sparking transparent, meaningful conversation among employees.
- Train in the middle of a factory floor or field: Remote training can be challenging, especially in places with limited connectivity. Here’s where iClicker’s RF (radio frequency) clickers come in handy: they allow you to run interactive training sessions in the middle of a factory floor or an outdoor setting without the need for internet or Wi-Fi. This versatility ensures that no matter where your training takes place, iClicker has you covered.
- Data Analytics for Engagement Tracking: We love our data, and guess that you may too. Did you know that iClicker offers detailed analytics that can track engagement both during an event AND over time? With these insights, you can identify participation trends, pinpoint moments where engagement dipped, and adjust your approach for future sessions. This capability empowers instructors, administrators, and event coordinators alike to refine their strategy with evidence-based decisions.
These lesser-known features of iClicker redefine what this tool can offer across various environments—from schools to corporate settings and beyond. Whether it’s gathering candid feedback, running seamless events, or analyzing engagement patterns, iClicker’s capabilities go far beyond a traditional classroom response system.
