Using i>clicker: How to

Poll Your Students in Class

Connect the i>clicker receiver to your computer

through the USB port. Your computer will tell you

that it has recognized new hardware and inform you

when it is ready to use it (this takes a few seconds).

Place your i>clicker flash drive in the USB slot

on the back of the receiver. (Your flash drive

should arrive with your shipment of the i>clicker

receiver. If not, contact us at support@iclicker.com

to request a flash drive.)

Locate and double-click on the flash drive

(located on the Desktop.)

The flash drive will contain folders called

MyCoursePC and MyCourseMac. These folders

contain course templates and application software

for PC and Mac users respectively. Make a copy of

the appropriate MyCourse folder for each class

or section for which you are using i>clicker and

rename each new folder with the name (or sec-

tion) of the course. To copy, right-click (control-

click) on the MyCourseMac folder and select

duplicate (or highlight the MyCourseMac folder,

hold down your Apple key and press D). This will

make a copy of the MyCourseMac folder

(“MyCourseMac Copy”). Rename the folder with

your course/section name. If you were teaching

two sections of Physics, for example, your flash

drive might look like this:

Double-click on the folder for the

course/section in which you are about to use

i>clicker and you will see the following:

TIP: There will be periodic updates to the

software, which you can access by clicking on

WebUpdate in your course folder.

Double-click the i>clicker icon to start the

i>clicker application and you will be taken to the

Welcome Screen. There are three options: Start

Session, Your Settings and Preferences, and

Resume Last Session. Select Start Session.

A floating bar menu will appear in the top left

corner of your computer desktop, indicating

i>clicker is active. You must select a presenta-

tion software (such as Word, PowerPoint, Excel,

etc.) to use in conjunction with i>clicker.

TIP: Always advise your students to turn their

clickers on at the beginning of class.

Select the Start button on the menu bar

when ready to ask students a question. A timer

will appear on the menu bar, indicating that

polling is active. On the right-hand side of the

menu bar, a counter will display how many

responses have been received.

Click on the Stop button on the menu bar when

sufficient time has elapsed. i>clicker will no longer

receive votes. Note: If your students vote before

you’ve clicked Start (or after you’ve clicked Stop),

the Vote Status light on their remotes will flash red

three times, indicating their votes were not received.

You can click on the DISPLAY button at any

time on the i>clicker menu bar to see a graph of

your students’ responses for the current question.
