Recommended best practice is to create an answer key before polling.

• Select ​​​​​​New Answer Key [1] from the iClicker main app menu at the top of your screen.
• Select the Number of Questions [2] (99 max).
• Enter the correct Answers [3]. Answers can be A-E, numeric, or alphanumeric.
• Assign each answer a Points value [4].
• There is no need to select the answer type.
• Select Save and give your answer key an easily identifiable Title [5] for later reference.
• To edit the answer key later, select Self-Paced from the main iClicker menu then select Open Answer Key [6].

 

 

When Polling starts, the Self-Paced Polling Toolbar appears. It shows:

• A chart icon that allows viewing in real-time of student progress [1]
• The time elapsed since self-paced polling started [2]
• The number of completed self-paced polls [3]

 

When the self-paced poll is over, click on the Self-Paced Polling button on the toolbar to stop the poll. Also remember to close the toolbar by clicking on the X in the top left corner.

• Use Self-Paced Poling for low-stakes assessments.
• Have students write their answers on paper and then transmit their responses with the iClicker.
• Have students submit their answer sheet as a back-up.
