iClicker

The iClicker response system allows instructors to obtain student responses in real time and provide feedback. The questions can be prepared in advance or created in real time.  Student responses can be anonymous or identified, and students can be assigned credit for participation and/or correct responses.

OIT Academic Technologies provides support for an integration tool that enables instructors to  synchronize their iClicker sessions with the student roster and gradebook in Moodle.

Getting Started - Students

An instructor will notify you if a course requires either a physical clicker (iClicker2) or a REEF license. Check the course Moodle site for details about how to register your clicker or to set up your REEF license to ensure that you will receive credit for your answers. During class, you can answer questions with an iClicker or by using REEF Polling from a laptop, tablet, or smartphone using a WiFi connection.
