You are required to participate with the iClicker student app on a smartphone, tablet, or laptop (OR with an iClicker remote; mobile app use recommended). All UTSA student accounts receive a free mobile app subscription. It is your responsibility to complete the Getting Started with iClicker process and follow the steps below to properly get added to my iClicker course and/or register your iClicker analog remote in a timely fashion. If you previously created an iClicker Student account, you will automatically be added when I sync the roster. You are responsible for regularly checking your iClicker records for any discrepancies and bringing them to my attention within 48 hours.

iClicker Account:

1. If the iClicker system does not find a matching iClicker student account, you will receive an email from iClicker Support with instructions to create an iClicker account through a campus portal.
2. If you receive an email prompting you to create or update your iClicker student account, make sure your profile includes the correct account information.
   • NOTE: These email may appear in your Spam or Junk folders.
3. Review Getting Started with iClicker to register successfully.

4. Upon successful registration, you will be automatically enrolled in this course, [Course Name].

6. Now the fun part! Participate in my iClicker class activities.
   • [GPS-enabled Attendance]: I have turned on a GPS location requirement for iClicker in our class. If you are not physically in class when you try to join with iClicker, you will not be counted as present and will not be able to respond to my polling/quizzing questions.
     • You will need to allow the device you are using to reveal your location in order to successfully check in.
     • If you have any issues with your device’s location settings, refer to the Attendance Geolocation Troubleshooting Guide.
   • [Synchronous class activities]: When it’s time for class, make sure you have selected my course from the main screen of iClicker.
     • Select the "Join" button that appears on your screen, then answer each question I ask in iClicker.
     • For short answer, numeric, and target questions, make sure you select "Send". [Note: Students with remotes cannot respond to target questions.]
   • [Assignments (asynchronous for student app users only)]: Visit the "Assignments" section of iClicker to work through these activities at your own pace. You can exit and return to the Assignment and change your responses as many times as you’d like up until the due date. Once the due date has passed, you will be able to review your performance.
   • [iClicker remotes]: If you are using an iClicker remote, make sure your remote frequency is set to [insert UTSA’s assigned base frequency code for this classroom].
     • When I ask a question, use your remote to respond.
     • For short answer and numeric questions, make sure you press "Send" after punching in your answer. [Note: Students can use the iClicker 2 remote (but not the iClicker+ remote) to respond to short answer and numeric questions.]
     • You will be marked present when you respond with your remote.
7. Keep track of your attendance, review your work, and study after class in iClicker.
   • You can review your attendance record in iClicker, making it easy for you to manage your course attendance.
   • You can review your grades, performance, and participation in iClicker.
   • You can bookmark the questions I asked during class to turn them into flashcards or practice tests in the Study Tools section of iClicker. [Note: Instructors must share images and grade responses in order for students to use Study Tools as designed.]
