iClicker in Action
Grace M. Tuttle, EdD, shares an excerpt from her iClicker research. The study’s results suggest that iClicker improves student learning and supports generative learning.
Tuttle performed the research during her doctoral studies and while working at Boise State University. She currently serves as an iClicker Pedagogical Training Consultant. You are welcome to schedule iClicker Pedagogical Training with Tuttle to learn more about using iClicker in your classroom.
Canvas Integration
iClicker is a third-party learning tool with a 1.3 integration with Canvas, which makes it easy for instructors to populate iClicker with rosters and sync grades back to Canvas. Instructors, just set up your iClicker course to use Roster & Grade Sync.
Once Canvas courses are synced, students with an iClicker account under their Boise State email address will be automatically added to the iClicker course. Students who haven’t been in an iClicker course or who have accounts under a different email will need to create an iClicker student account and sign in to iClicker to establish their connection to Canvas.
iClicker Analytics
iClicker provides analytics for assignments, polling and quizzing, and attendance. iClicker helps you check students’ understanding of key course concepts or monitor the engagement or attendance of your audience during an iClicker event or class.
Event hosts and instructors, follow these steps to create an instructor account using your Boise State credentials.
