For Fall 2017, UMass Amherst Instructional Innovation is conducting a pilot of iClicker Cloud, iClicker's new cloud-based polling software.
Note: The pilot is full and not enrolling additional participants.
iClicker Cloud is an audience response system that works with both the iClicker 2 remote and base station and devices with access to iClicker REEF polling over a Wi-Fi connection. In order to integrate iClicker Cloud and Moodle, you need to add an External Tool activity to your Moodle course using a unique URL that you retrieve from iClicker Cloud. This allows you to sync your class roster with iClicker Cloud and import polling grades into your Moodle gradebook.
Note: Currently, iClicker Cloud can only sync a total score adding together all polling sessions. This function may change in future versions of the software. If you want to have columns for each polling session in your Moodle gradebook, you need to manually upload grades.
Prior to integrating with your Moodle course, you must first download and install iClicker Cloud and then go through the initial steps of creating your iClicker Cloud course. To download iClicker Cloud and for additional set-up instructions, see:
After your iClicker Cloud course is created, go to the Course Settings to get the unique URL for your iClicker Cloud course.
After you copy the unique course URL from iClicker Cloud, open your Moodle course to complete the integration by adding a link using the External Tool activity. This action will also create a corresponding column in the Gradebook if you later choose to sync grades from iClicker Cloud.
