Faculty examples How are faculty using this tool?
Clickers work in-class with multiple-choice questions, and effective questions engage students in higher-level learning throughout a class session. Consider what questions might work well and when to present them.
If you're running the Mac OS Sierra, please refer to this guide to setting up on a Mac. iClicker software is available for both Windows and Mac.
Access the software distribution site at the link above and sign in with your CWL.
Select "iClicker Classic" from the Teaching & Learning tab.
Click "Add to Cart", then "Check Out".
Follow the prompts until you reach an Order Summary screen with a download link.
If you need to download a copy of iClicker and do not have/need to get a CWL, you can download it directly from the iClicker Website (note: downloading iClicker this way does not allow for synchronization with Canvas), or contact support for more help.
Go to your course and click settings.
Drag iClicker from the list of disabled navigation items to the list of enabled navigation items.
Your students will now be able to register their clickers to your course. While the email address field must be filled out, students not do need to provide a real email address.

Get your classroom equipped. An iClicker receiver base can be installed for you (as long as the room has a podium to lock the iClicker receiver base into). Please contact clicker.support@ubc.ca to have one installed.
If a base cannot be installed, you can use a portable iClicker receiver base. The LT Hub will loan you a portable base that can be used in any room. Check the list of rooms to see which frequency you can use.
The iClicker receiver base can be connected via USB to a laptop or podium computer. The USB port for your flash drive can be found on the right side of the iClicker base receiver.
If using a fixed classroom base, the iClicker USB switcher near the podium (see picture) has to be set to either a laptop or podium computer input in order for the receiver to function. The location of the switcher may vary depending on the design of the podium. To switch the input, press and hold the button on the switcher for two seconds.
