Items of Note

Changing Session titles in Canvas or iClicker between each synching of grades could create a problem with synching grades. The title must be changed in both iClicker and Canvas, and match exactly. The session title can be changed in iClicker by selecting the Summary button as shown above.

  • Students who have not registered their iClicker and participate with their iClicker in class will not appear by name in the iClicker Gradebook, but by their iClicker ID. They must register their iClicker or have the instructor do so for them.
