My class syllabus says I need an iClicker. Where can I get one?
Students purchase their iClicker through the Mānoa Bookstore and can use the same iClicker over their entire academic career with no additional registration fees. In addition, they will be able to sell their clicker back to the Mānoa Bookstore at the end of the year as part of the Bookstore’s buy-back program.
How do I register my iClicker?
Students may register their iClicker in class or on the web. Your instructor will let you know which registration method they prefer. If you need to register on the web, go to the iClicker website. When you register your iClicker, you will register the same device for all of your classes that use it. You’ll need to register your remote every semester. If your instructor asks you to register your iClicker on Laulima go to the ITS website.
When do I need to register my iClicker?
Students should register their iClicker as soon as possible. While the system will still collect your responses in class, you will not be credited for those responses until you have registered your iClicker for the course.
What if my iClicker number is already registered?
Some iClickers may have duplicate ID numbers. If you have a duplicate clicker ID, you can exchange the clicker at the Mānoa Bookstore. Inform your instructor when you register your new iClicker.
How do I use my iClicker?
To turn on your iClicker, press the On/Off button at the bottom of the clicker. The power light should shine blue. The clicker will remain on for 90 minutes as long as there is an activated base in your classroom. If you leave class and forget to turn off your clicker, it will automatically turn off after 5 minutes. To respond to a question, press the button corresponding to the answer you wish to submit. When the vote status light shines green, your response has been received. A red flashing light indicates that your vote was not received and you will need to vote again. Additionally, your clicker will flash red if your instructor has not begun polling. If you wish to change your response, simply press the button corresponding to the new answer you wish to submit.
Can I use my laptop or mobile device instead of the iClicker remote?
Students may use an iOS, Android and Windows laptop or mobile device instead of using an iClicker remote. For more information visit iClicker’s page for students. Additional costs and purchases may apply. INSTRUCTOR PRE-APPROVAL IS REQUIRED.
What if I am having problems with my iClicker?
First, check the batteries. There is a standard one-year limited warranty with each clicker. If it is defective, you may return it to the Bookstore. If you return a clicker that you have already registered, don’t forget to change your registration information on the iClicker website and inform your instructor to update his class roster information.
Is technical support available?
Yes. Students can call iClicker’s Technical Support Center toll free at 866-209-5698 for questions about the iClicker.
I’m taking a class that’s using another clicker system. Can I just use my iClicker?
No. iClicker works on a different frequency than other clicker systems on campus, so it cannot be used with any other system. Likewise, you will not be able to use other clickers in a class where your instructor is using the iClicker system.
Accessibility
Visually impaired individuals find that the buttons are easy to navigate, especially when using the raised battery compartment as a tactile reference point. Braille stickers, to be placed alongside the buttons, and vibrating clickers, giving blind students evidence of vote confirmation through vibration they can feel, are available from the KOKUA program.
