CUClickers - Set up iClicker Cloud for Instructors

Create an Instructor Account with iClicker.

Download and install iClicker Cloud.

Use iClicker's instructions for installing the Mac or the PC version of the software.

Create a course in iClicker cloud using your CU Boulder course name. It is helpful to include your name and the semester when creating your course. We recommend putting the course code in the Course ID field.

Click the three-dot menu icon next to the title of your course, and choose View Course Online.

Click the settings button on the left, and go to Devices. Choose whether you want to permit mobile polling or not. Be sure to check the wifi rating and frequency code for your room!

Make sure to check Students must be invited to this course under the Enrollment heading, and fill out your course title, code, section, and meeting days/times.

Be sure to follow steps 7-11 for setting up your roster/grade sync integration with Canvas

Open the Attendance tab. If you plan to use iClicker to ask questions, turn off Attendance.  If you don’t plan to use iClicker to ask questions, leave attendance on, but go to our tutorial on attendance-only classes.

Click the Polling tab. OIT recommends sharing the picture of your screen and the class results automatically when polling ends.

Scroll down, and select how you want to award points for your class. Participation points are awarded by the day, and Performance points are earned by answering individual questions and/or getting questions correct. Both can be used.

For more information see iClicker’s explanation of the difference between performance and participation points, and how to use each.

Be sure to set the timer to count up, not down, because you cannot add additional time to a countdown timer in class.

Once finished, click Save and move on to our Set up Roster and Grade Sync for iClicker & Canvas tutorial.
