Registration:

i>clicker offers a couple of different methods of registering your student's clickers to your roster. By registering a clicker, you can tie students to their clickers and clickers to your i>grader. You can then upload your i>grader grades to BeachBoard. (see roster and grading)

Online Registration:

This registration option is recommended, especially for larger classes. It's fast and easy. To use the national web registration solution, have your students go to www.iclicker.com and have them click "Register".

Once your students have arrived at the registration page, each student must:

• 1 Enter his/her First Name and Last Name in the appropriate fields.
• 2 Enter his/her student ID (the same one that is in your Roster.txt file).
• 3 Enter his/her i>clicker remote ID (the bar code on the back of their remote).
• 4 Enter the verification code displayed on the screen. (This security feature prevents spam bots from registering).
• 5 Click Enter. An on-screen message confirms that registration was successful. The student's ID is now tied to his/her unique i>clicker remote ID.

After your students have registered online, you need to synchronize the relevant information from the Web server with i>grader (see rosters and grading); this updates the student registration information in your class folder.

Roll Call Registration:

This registration option is recommended for smaller classes only (under 50 students). You can use a combination of the two registration methods (in-class and web), if you like.

To use Roll Call, your computer screen needs to be projected so that all students can see it.

1 Open i>clicker and click Start Session.

2 Click the down arrow on the floating tool bar and select Loan/Register Clickers from the Options menu.

3 Click the Roll Call button in the displayed window. The class roster you created earlier begins scrolling down the Roll Call screen.

4 When names scroll into the blue area, letters appear in the first column of boxes. Instruct students to press the letter on their i>clicker that corresponds to the letter next to their name. After they've entered the letter, a letter appears in the second column. They must also enter that letter to confirm the registration.

When a student is successfully registered, his/her i>clicker remote ID appears next to his or her name.

Synchronizing Web Registrations

If after you have done an in-class roll call and any of your students have registered via the Web, you must update your i>grader desktop application with their registrations:

1 Check your MyCourse folder for the class to ensure you have all of the required files:

• i>clicker and i>grader executables
• Your course roster (via Roster.txt or your BeachBoard-formatted roster)

2 Make sure all your students have voted at least once. If a student has not yet voted, synchronization won't work.

3. Open i>clicker and click Your Settings and Preferences. Under the Registration and Export tab, make sure you've selected either your local CMS (if you're linking your student registrations to your BeachBoard roster) or General if you're not using a downloaded BeachBoard roster.

4.Double-click the i>grader file in your MyCourse folder to open i>grader. On the main screen, click Synchronize StudenWeb Registrations. Your list of registered students is updated using information from the Web server and databse. A software feature alerts you to any discrepancies between your roster and the website registrations.

5 Repeat this process for each MyCourse folder (each course or section) in which you are using the i>clicker system.

NOTE: In i>grader, registered students appear in blue, while unregistered students and uregister clickers (if any) appear in red (as does the instructor's remote ID)
