i>clicker Audience Response System

i>clicker

The i>clicker Audience Response System enables students and faculty to interact dynamically through question-and-answer polling in various settings vis-a-vis the intuitive interface, mobile app, and hand-held devices.

Whether used simply for taking attendance in large classes or for spontaneous discussions or polls, the i>clicker will assist faculty in delivering a truly collaborative learning experience.

One notable feature of the i>clicker is that it privately displays polling results before they are revealed to the room allowing faculty to decide on appropriate discussion strategies in real-time.

i>clicker also integrates with Canvas.

If you have questions about i>clicker on campus or for training, contact Don Lane at lane@uta.edu.

There are now two versions of i>Clicker... i>Clicker Cloud and i>Clicker Classic. Both versions utilize the base station that needs to be attached to the classroom computer. i>Clicker Classic is software you bring on a USB drive and run from the classroom PC. i>Clicker Cloud is fully run from a web interface and software loaded on the classroom PC. i>Cloud software is already loaded on all ETSS supported computers in classrooms.

i>Clicker Classic & Canvas Integration

i>Clicker Integrate is a wizard that provides a seamless integration of data between Canvas and i>Clicker gradebook. You can download the i>clicker software that is configured for UT Arlington Canvas Integration here. Make sure to download either Mac or PC:

The first time you run iClicker from this new folder, it will automatically create all the supporting files and folders and iClicker will function as normal.
  • You need the iClicker software to be integrated with UTA's Canvas instance. Download this xml file... then copy the file into the Resources folder of your new iClicker software.
  • You can now start and use the software.
