Critical Concepts

---

• Instructors should pursue basic technical training and determine how iClickers will be used in their courses.
• iClicker Instructor Kits, if required, should be requested at least a week before instruction starts.
• Entire training guide is available on Blink. New users should read through this in its entirety. If it seems overwhelming, you can always contact clickers@ucsd.edu for a consultation or dates of future workshops. We highly recommend that instructors take a training course with Macmillan about iClicker Cloud.

Faculty iClicker Orders:

In order to assure that iClicker remotes are on the shelves for the first day of class, instructors should place a reservation with the UC San Diego Bookstore no later than 1 to 2 weeks prior to the beginning of each quarter. Same day requests may be accommodated, however it depends on stock on hand.

Student iClicker Purchase:

iClicker remotes are available in the textbook section of the Bookstore, or can be purchased new or used online. (When used remotes are purchased, if the instructor does not use Canvas, the student may need to pay iClicker a used-clicker registration fee).

iClicker Sell-Back:

Students may sell their used remotes back to the bookstore if there is a need.
