First Time Users: Setting up Your iClicker Instructor Account
This section is for instructors who wish to set up iClicker Cloud for the first time.
Download the iClicker Cloud instructor software from iClicker.com. If you are running the software on a classroom computer, click Download the Windows standalone version and unzip the application to your P: drive or USB device. Otherwise, use your laptop and click on the Operating System you use, and then copy the extracted application to your computer’s hard drive.
Note: If you will be using your own laptop and plan to allow students to participate using the physical iClicker remote, you need to bring an iClicker receiver with you to the classroom and connect it to your laptop. You can email EdTech at edtech@uconn.edu if you need one.Launch the iClicker Cloud application and click Create a New Account.

Creating Your iClicker Cloud Course
Once the Course Dashboard opens, click the blue Create a Course button to create your first course. You can edit or update course settings at any time. The more detail you provide, the easier it will be for your students to find your class, but using the sync roster feature, they may not need to add the course themselves. If you teach multiple sections that meet at different times, you should create a separate iClicker Cloud course for each section that is clearly labeled for students. You can share your course if you have any TAs or co-instructors who will need access.
Select which activities you will be using in your iClicker Cloud course. Typically we use To Run Polls, Quizzes, and Attendance.
Your Institution and Course Discipline will be filled in based on what you entered when you created your account. You can modify these fields here as needed.
Enter your Course Name and the Start and End Date. When your course ends (based on the End Date), it is automatically archived. An archived course no longer appears in student searches and cannot be joined. However, students who have already added the course will continue to have access to their course content as long as they do not remove themselves from the course.
Once you create a course, the course name and details appear in the Active tab of your Courses list. You can also click the Archived tab to view any courses you have archived.
