iClicker Cloud (formerly REEF Instructor) is the new version of the iClicker Audience Response System (ARS). You can use iClicker Cloud to record student attendance, create opportunities for engagement through polling, and even offer low-stakes quizzing. iClicker Cloud, like the old iClicker Classic, allows students to respond to questions using iClicker2 student remotes.
