i>clicker is EASY TO LEARN
Plug and play right out of the box.
i>clicker requires no installation—for hardware or software.
Write your questions in any application.
Unlike competing systems, the i>clicker floating menu bar sits on top of any application (e.g. PowerPoint, Word, Flash, Keynote, Adobe, videos). You don't have to waste time re-authoring or importing your lectures into a separate software application.
Insert spontaneous questions during lecture.
With i>clicker's “Question on the Fly” tool, you can easily ask unplanned questions and still review your questions and assign points after class.
Choose the book and content you want—without restrictions.
i>clicker adopts a non-exclusive approach to working with educational publishers. We have the largest number of publisher partners in the industry, which means you control what textbooks and what clickers you want to use.
i>clicker is EASY TO USE
Keep your students focused on content, not technology.
We've intentionally built our system so students' focus remains on you, not our hardware. Designed for formative assessment and peer instruction, our remotes are simple and intuitive.
Collect responses with unequaled speed and accuracy.
With i>clicker, your students receive vote confirmation more quickly and accurately than with any other system available. Votes are received and confirmed in less than .01 seconds, and i>clicker can process up to 750 votes per second.
Poll your students anonymously.
i>clicker's "Anonymous Polling" application lets you ask sensitive questions in your class without students fearing that you will know what they answered. Simply mark a question as Anonymous and begin polling--i>clicker will record the votes without recording how students answered.
Integrate i>clicker with your course management system.
Recognizing that each campus and each faculty member's needs are different, we offer two course management integration solutions. For more information, please visit our Course Management page.
Export data into HTML reports—for you and your students.
Compile printable HTML reports of your students' responses—by term, session, and individual question—and post the reports to your Web site or course management system. These can serve as a virtual review guide for your students after class.
Preview voting results before your class sees them.
With i>clicker, student responses are instantly tallied and displayed by percentages on the unique receiver's LCD screen. The LCD also includes a timer and the total vote count. The LCD preview allows you to adjust your lecture (or next question) accordingly.
Spend more time teaching and less time worrying with registration.
Unlike competing systems, i>clicker registration is optional and flexible. When using i>clicker for simple immediate feedback, you never need to register the remotes. If you want to capture attendance or assign points based on student responses, you have three easy registration methods (in-class, online, and via your course management system). Moreover, registration can occur any time during the course; when students do register their clickers, all responses and points are retroactively tied to their names/IDs.
Include all of your students.
i>clicker's simple remote is innately well-suited for students with disabilities. The i>clicker remote's LED lights were designed with color blind students in mind. Most visually-impaired individuals are able to easily navigate i>clicker's six large buttons using the raised left edge as a tactile reference point. However, for those who require additional help, Braille stickers and a vibrating clicker are also available. For more information, please see our Accessibility statement.
Feel confident you are getting the most value for the cost.
Students and direct purchasers pay one price for the remote and can use i>clicker repeatedly with no additional costs, ever. Furthermore, i>clicker's open source software and upgrades are free to instructors, students, and institutions. A common API is available upon request.
i>clicker is EASY TO TRUST
Rest easy with i>clicker's unmatched reliability.
You and your students need never worry about dropped votes or incorrect data. i>clicker's vote accuracy is 100% with a 0% chance of dropped or lost data. In addition, i>clicker saves each question's data incrementally, so if for any reason your computer looses power or freezes, then your data up to that point is saved.
Save money on remote batteries.
The remotes use standard AAA batteries and are easy to replace (no screwdriver or special tool required). New batteries yield approximately 200 hours of use, and two automatic shut-off features preserve battery life—both in and out of the classroom.
Never worry about wireless interference.
i>clicker operates at 915 MHz and will never interfere with any Wi-Fi technologies, such as wireless internet, telephones, or microphones.
Trust the hardware.
Our clicker remotes have a .0007% defective rate, which far outperforms the industry average of 5-10%. i>clicker receivers are also exceptionally reliable with a defect rate of .0125%. And both hardware components are backed with a standard one-year limited warranty.
Upgrade with confidence.
With some competing systems, your data can be lost when upgrading their software. With i>clicker, your data is stored separate from the upgradable applications, meaning your data is never touched and never lost.
