Your students need to link their iClicker Reef account and/or their iClicker 2 remote to your course. Students use the same iClicker Sync app in HuskyCT that you used in the previous section to link your courses. Students need to follow these steps for each iClicker course in which they are participating.
- Instruct your students to click the iClicker Sync option in the side navigation of your HuskyCT course.
- If this is the first time they have ever clicked iClicker Sync, students will see a message informing them they need to link their iClicker Reef account. Students should be informed that creating a new Reef account is only necessary for students who have never before used Reef.
- Returning students will see a message that their iClicker Reef account is linked, as well as an option to unlink the account if they made a mistake.
- If this is the first time they have ever clicked iClicker Sync, students will see a message informing them they need to link their iClicker Reef account. Students should be informed that creating a new Reef account is only necessary for students who have never before used Reef.

Overview
iClicker Cloud polling can be run in-person or remotely.
In-person iClicker polling can be run from a UConn classroom computer or from an instructor’s laptop.
All UConn classroom computers have the iClicker Cloud application installed, and polling can be run via the iClicker Cloud desktop shortcut.
If you plan to run iClicker polling from your external laptop, you will need to download and install the iClicker Cloud software to your device.
When using a laptop, if any students will be using the iClicker Remote 2 to participate in the polling, be sure to bring an iClicker base to connect to the laptop. To receive an iClicker base, please email edtech@uconn.edu
If all students are using the iClicker Student app, the base is not needed.
Remote iClicker polling can be run from the instructor’s computer.
Instructors need to download and install the iClicker Cloud software to their computer.
To participate remotely, students will need to have an active iClicker student subscription. With a subscription, they can participate via the iClicker Student App or on a web-browser by logging into their iClicker Student account.

Starting the Polling Session
It is recommended to start the iClicker Polling session at the start of class.
Open the iClicker Cloud application.
Log in with your iClicker instructor account if needed.
Hover your cursor over the course and click Start Class. Thisofficially starts the polling session, and students using the iClicker App will be able to join the session.
From the iClicker control strip, click Poll.
Once the Polling session is active, you can open your presentation software and present until you reach a slide displaying a poll question and you want to activate a poll question.

Activating a Poll Question
Once you have reached a slide that contains a poll question, if needed, specify the poll question type from the drop-down menu.
To start the poll, click the green Play button.

After the Poll Question
Once the polling window has closed, if you would like to review & discuss the results of the poll with the class, click on the Results button.
By default, poll questions are ungraded as shown above. If there is a correct answer, you can click on the correct option to mark it. If your iClicker scoring system is setup to award credit for correct responses, credit will be when the polling session ends and participation data is uploaded to iClicker Cloud.
To activate another poll question, repeat the process outlined above.

Ending the Polling Session
At the end of the class session, you will need to end the iClicker polling session. Once the Polling session is ended, all student participation data will automatically upload to your iClicker Course. From there participation scores can be synced to your HuskyCT course Grade Center.
To end the polling session, click on the arrow between the cloud and the play button.
Then click End, and then End Class to exit the session.
