Uploading Grades from iClicker Cloud to Moodle
There are 2 options for transferring scores from iClicker Cloud to Moodle: using the Sync Grades which will aggregate student scores into a single column in the Moodle gradebook, or exporting the grades as a .csv file and uploading the grades to Moodle so each class session contains its own column.
If you have not done so already, you will need to connect your iClicker Cloud and Moodle course. Using this method will create a column in your Moodle gradebook. Scores from iClicker Cloud will be aggregated into a single score and sent to the Moodle gradebook. While students will only see a single score in Moodle, they can track their participation and see individual class polling in their iClicker Student accounts.
- Open the iClicker Cloud desktop application and log in. The Courses window will open.
- In the Courses window, for the course you want to sync scores, click the 3 horizontal dots.
- In the dropdown menu, select View Course Online. The iClicker Course will open in your browser.
- On the iClicker Cloud course, in the left-hand menu, select Gradebook. The Gradebook page will open.
- On the Gradebook page, select Sync Grades. The grades will sync to your Moodle course. When the sync is complete, the page will reload and display the Last sync date and time.
