iClicker gives instructors a simple way to check comprehension, spark discussion, and track engagement using the materials they already teach with. No new prep. No disruption. Just better learning moments.
Built for How You Teach
iClicker works for large lectures, small group discussions, and everything in between.
Large Lecture
Take Attendance: Use geolocation or scheduled check-ins in the iClicker app to track attendance at scale, without slowing down the start of class.
Keep Focus and Drive Engagement: Use Focus mode to reduce distractions, then launch polls and reactions to keep students participating in large lectures.
Assess Learning: Review live responses and confidence ratings to spot misconceptions early and adjust instruction while students are still engaged.
Online/Hybrid
Extend Engagement Beyond Class Time: Use Assignments to pose questions about posted lecture videos or materials. Students can respond at their own pace and stay engaged outside scheduled class time.
Prepare Students for Class: Use pre- or post-class Assignments to reinforce key topics and check comprehension before your next class.
Support Disconnected Learners: Use confidence checks and participation data to identify students who may be falling behind or disengaged and follow up early.
Small Seminar
Spark Discussion: Use quick polls, open-ended prompts, or live reactions to kick off conversation and invite every student to participate.
Facilitate Group Work: Create small groups with shared questions to encourage collaboration and peer-to-peer learning.
Check For Understanding: Use confidence ratings and live feedback to gauge student thinking and adjust your approach on the spot.
What Educators Say about iClicker
“”
Biology InstructorCabrillo College
“I love using them at the beginning of class to review content but also to gauge prior knowledge, I’ve received excellent feedback from students and evaluators on their use, they are fantastic for formative assessment while covering new content and allow me to adjust my teaching in real time!”
“”
History InstructorBoise State University
“iClicker is ideal for attendance in my large classes. My course is very interactive, and the use of polling is essential for gauging student understanding, giving feedback, and understanding their views on the content presented.”
“”
Engineering InstructorColorado School of Mines
“In my class, iClicker gives every student an opportunity to respond to concept-check questions and share their learning anonymously. This approach helps students take ownership of their learning, and the post-poll discussions provide a great way to clarify misunderstandings and deepen conceptual understanding.”
“”
Economics InstructorDutchess Community College
“It helps me have a measure to be part of my otherwise subjective class participation portion of the course grade. However, even more importantly, it helps me make sure the level of understanding I think they have is accurate (sometimes they understand better than I would have expected: so I move on, sometimes worse: so I slow down).”
