The iClicker student response system allows students to participate in polls and answer questions during class. There are two varieties: the original hardware-based device, and iClicker Cloud, a phone app that offers more advanced polling and quizzing options, and online grading. iClicker can be used for remote, face-to-face and hybrid presentations.
This showcase consisted of a vendor training presentation followed by UCLA CIELS staff who shared their teacher’s guide.
