How to Use iClicker Cloud

iClicker Cloud ( web | app ) allows you to quickly set up and sync your Brightspace Classlist. Once set up, iClicker Cloud can push your session polling grades directly to your Brightspace Grades. 

Please review the CITL’s tutorial on how to integrate with UMS Brightspace: iClicker Cloud Setup.

Here are iClicker’s official instructions on how to integrate with Brightspace: iClicker Cloud Roster & Grade Sync with Brightspace.

*Additional resource: Instructors can share this with their students on how to set up their iClicker student accounts: UMaine Registering for iClicker Student.

What is iClicker?

Clickers are the common term for Student Response Systems (SRS), a technology used to promote active learning in classrooms. The University of Maine now has a campus license for iClicker Cloud. This browser and/or app-based system will allow all faculty members to use a state-of-the-art classroom response service in their classes without students needing to purchase anything or keep track of additional hardware!  iClicker is an effective tool in all teaching modalities, seamlessly allowing instructors to poll their students synchronously in a classroom and/or from anywhere.

Watch the iClicker Cloud Overview video to see how to start polling students in your classes.

Troubleshooting for Students

Students using iClicker in a classroom on the UMaine campus should connect to WiFi via eduroam.  DO NOT use “MaineEDU-Guest” or “tempest.”

If you have questions about connecting to eduroam, visit UMS-IT’s website (https://umaine.edu/it/get-connected/).  If you have used either MaineEDU-Guest or tempest in the past, remove them from your device as a preferred network. This will ensure that your device will not unintentionally connect to them. Using eduroam will ensure a better experience with iClicker and other UMS software applications. Not using eduroam will likely result in poor connection or disconnection from iClicker and result in missing and/or delayed scores.
