i>Clicker FAQ

i>Clicker is an audience response system that allows students to instantly provide feedback and answer questions posed by their instructors.

• Each student uses a “clicker,” a portable, handheld device that allows students to vote by “clicking” on the appropriate button for his/her choice.
• Each instructor uses a receiver that collects votes sent by students’ clickers. Light and portable, the receiver is powered through any computer’s USB port.
• Instructors present a question and enable polling.
• Each student responds by “clicking” the appropriate button for his or her choice.
• A wireless signal is sent immediately from each responding clicker to the receiver.
• The receiver, through i>clicker’s easy-to-use software, logs and stores the data of each individual student.
• The instructor can then display voting results in a graph, to the audience.
• The results are also available for later analysis, grading, and exporting to Canvas.
