CUClickers - Set up Roster and Grade Sync for iClicker & Canvas

Go to Canvas Settings and rename your course with an indication of the appropriate semester and year. Click Update Course Details at the bottom of the page.

Go to the iClicker Instructor portal and navigate to the Settings page for your course.

Click the Integrations tab in settings, and then click Connect to Canvas.

You will be prompted to Go to Canvas and then to Authorize the connection.

From the list of courses, find the one that corresponds to the current semester (as you named it in step one). Select that course, and click Next.

If there are multiple sections, choose the correct one and click Connect. Note that sections that do not meet concurrently cannot be in the same iClicker course.

Click Sync Roster Now.

Click View Details to email an invitation to create an iClicker account to students that don’t have one yet. You will need to re-sync the roster daily until the add-drop period has ended. This can be found on the People tab of your iClicker course.

Click the uppermost left box to select all the students that need to create a clicker account, then click Send Email to send the invitation.

Unless you have a good reason to do so, let iClicker create a single grade item in your Canvas grade book. If you have multiple sections you will want to rename the grade item with the section number. If everything looks correct, click Save.

If you are creating an attendance only class, you are finished. If you wish to ask questions with iClicker, proceed to step 12.

You will need to create a grade group in Canvas. Under assignments, click + Group.

Find the new group at the bottom of the assignments list, hover over the three dot icon, and click Move Group. When prompted, move the group to the top of the list.

The first time you sync the grades from iClicker to Canvas, iClicker will create a grade item in the grade group at the top of your assignments list so make sure to leave the new grade group there. Any changes you wish to make to grades should be made in the iClicker gradebook, not in Canvas, as iClicker will overwrite any changes made in Canvas.
