General Preferences

Access the i>clicker preferences by choosing Your Settings and Preferences from the i>clicker Main Menu.

Choose Set for Course to set the preferences for the duration of your course. Choose Set For This Session to set the preferences for your active session only.

• Course Name: Use the Course Name option to change the name of your course. The course name that you enter will appear in the course list on the Welcome Screen.

• Instructor's Remote ID: You can designate one of the i>clicker remotes as the instructor remote. You can use the instructor remote to control polling as well as your presentation without having to stand near your computer.

To convert any i>clicker remote into an instructor remote type the eight character code printed on the back of the remote into the Instructor's Remote ID field.

• Toolbar: The i>clicker toolbar floats on the screen above your presentation material. You can drag the i>clicker toolbar to any location on your screen so that it does not obstruct your presentation. i>clicker remembers the position of the toolbar when you move it and saves that location. The saved toolbar location makes it easy to design your questions (or slides) so that they are never obstructed by the toolbar.

Use the toolbar setting to change the toolbar size and move the toolbar back to its start (or default) position. If you reset the toolbar position the change will take affect the next time you launch i>clicker.

Note: You can minimize the toolbar when you are not polling.

• Frequency Code: The two-letter frequency code helps prevent accidental interference between different bases in close proximity. You should consider changing your frequency code if you know that another classroom in close proximity is also using i>clicker.

Change the frequency code by selecting a radio button for each subfrequency code. For example, choosing B for subfrequency code 1 and C for subfrequency code 2 creates the two-letter frequency code BC.

Frequency codes should typically be changed for the entire course.

Students must set their i>clicker remotes to match the frequency code that you select. You can set i>clicker to show an alert message reminding students to change the frequency on their remotes.

Note: If i>clicker is part of an institutional adoption, check with your campus administrator to see if a frequency code has been assigned to your classroom.

• web>clicker: web>clicker is a browser-based voting application that will allow students to vote using mobile devices like laptops and smart phones. web>clicker works with standard web browsers like Internet Explorer, Firefox, and Safari, including Safari for iPhone and iTouch.
