What is iClicker? 

iClicker is a student response system that allows instructors to incorporate interactive and engaging aspects of teaching and learning into their lessons. Students can participate using actual clicker remotes, or their own devices (such as phones, tablets, and laptops) via the iClicker Reef application. 

 

What is the difference between iClicker Cloud and iClicker Reef? 

iClicker Cloud is the portion of the tool that allows for instructors to set up courses and assessments. ICloud Reef is for student responses and can be accessed via different devices as long as students have internet access.  

 

Why is iClicker important?  

With iClicker, instructors can engage students throughout instruction, whether face-to-face or remote. As instructors have the opportunity to incorporate activities like polls and quizzes directly into their lessons, iClicker can be used for both formative and summative assessment. This tool also allows assessments to be graded and transferred to learning management systems such as D2L. 

 

How do I access iClicker? 

iClicker is FREE for all MSU students and instructors. The application can be downloaded here
