Spring 2013 i>clicker Updates

As the Spring 2013 semester is well underway, we would like to reminder i>clicker users about some important updates.

Download the New i>clicker 6.2.3 Software

We have updated to i>clicker version 6.2.3. This new version provides improvements over the previous version, including improved performance and stability with Self-Paced Polling, Numeric Reponse, and Results Chart interactivity.

Before downloading the new i>clicker 6.2.3 software, we ask that you back up your i>clicker data and uninstall the current version of i>clicker. After backing up your i>clicker data and removing the current version, download and install the updated i>clicker 6.2.3 software at:

Also remember that you can sync your Moodle class roster with i>clicker and upload clicker scores directly back to Moodle. For more information on how to add the i>clicker block to a Moodle course, see our Getting Started with i>clicker handout:

i>clicker Base Stations

To avoid frustration or in-class delays, please go to the classroom you will be teaching in to make sure it is equipped with an i>clicker base station. If you need an i>clicker base station or have one that you are not using in your classroom, please contact the Instructional Media Lab (413-545-2823 | instruct@oit.umass.edu).

Student Registration of i>clickers

Students register their clickers in a dedicated i>clicker block that you will need to add to your Moodle course. For instructions on how to add the i>clicker block to a Moodle course, see:

Please be sure to let your students know that i>clicker registration should be done through Moodle, NOT through the online database registration at i>clicker.com.
