Enhance student engagement, discussion, and feedback during class
Overview
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 - Instructors
There are several steps that instructors must take in order to integrate iClickers into their courses. You will need to download the customized iClicker software for this academic year and access the instructions for setting up the software to synchronize with your class in Moodle.
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.
Students purchase a license through the bookstore to access an app on their phones. $16 for a 6 month license per student. The bookstore can sell physical clickers if needed.
