A note on REEF, the Mobile Polling Option from i>clicker

i>clicker 7 is integrated with REEF, a mobile polling app that eliminates the need for the handheld i>clicker 2 student remotes and allows polling via mobile devices. REEF also allows live polling in remote locations (for example, you can run a poll in Amherst and Springfield at the same time).

Due to the limitations of the wireless network on UMass Amherst campus, currently mobile polling can only be used in a handful of academic buildings (such as the new Integrative Learning Center (ILC) classrooms, for example).

If you have questions about using REEF, please contact the Instructional Media Lab (instruct@umass.edu | 413-545-2823).
