iClicker Cloud
iClicker Cloud is a polling software that enables students to participate in classes and answer questions provided by instructors. iClicker Cloud can also be used to poll remote students as well as students in the classroom. It integrates with Canvas, enabling students to link their iClicker remotes directly to their Canvas courses. The software is free for instructors to use, and works with student iClickers as well as the iClicker Student App.
iClicker Student App
The iClicker Student App (formerly iClicker Reef) is a learning software that students can use in conjunction with an iClicker remote to answer questions in class and review those questions outside of class. It can also be used in remote learning situations, as an app on a phone or tablet, or via a web browser. iClicker’s remote polling feature is free for students to use for University of Colorado Boulder classes. All students using clickers should create an iClicker Student account, register their iClicker to their account, sign up for their classes via iClicker Student.
