iClicker Events

Setup or edit an iClicker Event

1. To run an Event in iClicker, you need to have an iClicker Instructor account. See our already existing instructions for how to do this: How to Create an iClicker Cloud Instructor Account

2. Once logged in, click Events in the left navigation.

   Open

   

3. To set up a new Event, click Create New Event. If you have already created the Event you wish to use, skip to Step 5.

4. Enter Event Title and Description. Date of when the event will occur is not required (but perhaps recommended to put this in the Title?)

5. Click on the Event in your list of Events that you wish to edit.

6. Click Settings to access the following:
   - The fields you filled out when originally creating the Event.
   - A join code that you can copy and a Join QR code you can download.
   - Polling settings – similar to courses, but grading options have been removed.
   - Devices – cannot restrict type of device like you can in courses, and no option to monitor participant focus like in courses.
   Options that are not in Events that are in courses:
   - Quizzing
   - Attendance
   - Integrations (with LEARN)
   - Grading

7. Save any changes you have made.
