Register your remote ID

If you plan to use an iClicker remote to participate in a class where your instructor is using iClicker Cloud and allows students to participate with physical remotes, you must register your remote in your iClicker student account. Please follow the steps to register your remote ID.

Joining your instructor’s course

Many of our instructors at UW will link their iClicker Cloud course with the LEARN course they are teaching. In this case, their iClicker class will automatically appear in your account when they sync the Classlist from LEARN.

If your instructor is not syncing the LEARN Classlist directly, you can add your instructor's course to your list.

Purchasing options for the iClicker student app

For students with a physical iClicker remote, if you are the first person to register a new iClicker remote, you will automatically activate a five-year iClicker student app subscription in your account.

UWaterloo has an eight-month subscription you can purchase through the W Store. Please see this document for instructions on how to obtain this subscription.

iClicker classes that require your location

If your instructor has informed you that they will be using the location on your device to ensure that you are in class when participating, it is your responsibility to ensure you are using a device that can accurately track your location. Please see iClicker Student App Attendance Geolocation Tips.
