This article is for instructors who wish to learn how to link a HuskyCT course to an iClicker Cloud Course
- Login to iClicker as an Instructor and click/open on your course. If you haven't created a course go to this page to create the course.
- Click on Settings (left column).
- Click Devices to select what devices you want your students to use.
- If students use the iClicker Remote, they need to physically be in the classroom with the instructor. Then select the Base Station Wireless Frequency for that classroom.
- Click Attendance.
- Since we don't grade attendance at UConn, the recommendation is to turn this off.
- Click Polling
- Send a picture of my screen to student devices: If you select "Automatically whenever polling starts" then students can participate remotely from the classroom. If you want to ensure the students are in the class with the instructor, select "Automatically whenever polling ends."
- Send class results to student devices: this can be set to "Automaticlly whenever polling ends."
- Scoring: select the scoring you would like for your students.
- Timer: most instructors use Count up from 0 seconds
- Click Integrations.
- Click "Connect to Blackboard".
- Follow the prompts to log in to HuskyCT and to retrieve a list of your courses.
- Select your course (be sure to select the correct term) and click Next.
- Click Sync Roster Now
- You may be prompted to email the students who don't have iClicker accounts. You can do this now by clicking "View Details" or later by clicking on People in your course. The system will send them an email indicating you'll be using iClicker in your course and instructions on how to set up an account and pay for the product. If you send a copy of that email to yourself as well, you can see what it includes.
- After you've integrated it, you'll be prompted to select the Grade Sync Settings. Most instructors select "Individual activity scores in separate columns" so students can see they received a score for each polling session.
- Click "Connect to Blackboard".
- Click Save
- Your course is ready for polling.
