Using iClickers in the Classroom

iClicker is effective for formative assessment (e.g., gauging student learning and adjusting and targeting instruction to meet identified needs) and is not intended for summative assessment (testing). The University of Toronto Mississauga Library offers consultation regarding best practices in the use of different technologies in the classroom and basic training for faculty and TAs on how to use the iClicker system.

iClicker results can be synchronized with Blackboard and imported into the Grade Center to streamline grading. For more information about how to set up an iClicker course so that it can be used with Blackboard consult the Using iClicker with Blackboard instructions.
