Tips to mitigate iClicker issues

Submitted by stauffeg on

If you’re planning to use iClicker to promote interactive learning this semester, now is the time to get prepared. Last fall numerous instructors encountered wireless issues using iClicker in the classroom. To help mitigate these issues, we recommend the following:

  1. Register for iClicker training or request a one-on-one consultation.
  2. Review the Wireless Considerations page, and consider using physical clickers in any physical classroom.
  3. Use the provided ethernet cable to connect your computer to the network. iClicker REQUIRES the instructor maintain good internet connectivity while running class, and the ethernet cable will give you that.
  4. Make sure to communicate with your students how to use a clicker, and how to access their iclicker account
  5. Communicate WHY you are using iClicker in class.
  6. Review our Student Onboarding page to ensure your success and theirs.

Finally, iClicker has officially discontinued support for iClicker Classic. If you are still using it, please transition to iClicker Cloud. For help with this, or other academic technologies, please contact the IT Service Center.
