iClicker is a student-pay technology. After the purchase of a subscription, students can use a mobile app on their device (phone or laptop). Students can also use an iClicker remote to participate without the app subscription.

Instructors can link their HuskyCT course with their iClicker Cloud course to easily sync the roster and the grades to the Grade Center using a tool called Roster & Grade Sync (RGS). RGS supports grade sync for individual sessions (resulting in multiple Grade Center columns in HuskyCT) or aggregates iClicker Cloud scores into a single column.

For both options, students must create an iClicker account to participate in the polling. Students do not need to click a link in the HuskyCT course to connect their iClicker student app accounts with their HuskyCT accounts; this is only for the Instructor's iClicker Classic version.

Tips

  • Changes to previously synced scores that you make in HuskyCT will be overwritten the next time iClicker Cloud is synced. We recommend making score changes directly in iClicker Cloud and syncing/re-syncing to HuskyCT to ensure that the two gradebooks are consistent with one another.

  • The Cloud-HuskyCT grade sync is based on the session name. Make sure that your iClicker Cloud sessions are named the way you want them to appear in HuskyCT before you sync grades. Changing the name of a poll or quiz session after you sync grades will break the original association and create another entry in your HuskyCT Gradebook. Remember to give every session a unique name in order to avoid overwriting grades when you sync.
