I>Clicker Integration with ccc.brightspace.com

Step 1 Getting Started

Set Up Your iClicker Cloud Account

NOTE: You will need to download the iClicker Cloud Instructor Software if you intend to use Polling and

Quizzing modules. If you plan to only use the iClicker Attendance module, you can create your account

and course by visiting instructor.reef-education.com

TIP: You can also run the software from a thumb drive, though we recommend running iClicker Cloud

from your hard drive for best performance.

TIP: If you are using Attendance, you will not be able to run an Attendance session until at least one

student has joined your course.

1. Download the iClicker Cloud instructor software from iclicker.com

(https://www.iclicker.com/downloads/iclicker-cloud) and copy the extracted application to

your computer’s hard drive.

2. Launch the iClicker Cloud application and click the Create a New Account button or log in to an

existing account.

3. Complete the form to create an iClicker Cloud account. Because all iClicker Cloud data is saved

to the cloud, you will use this account to access your course data from anywhere.

4. Once the Course Dashboard opens, click the blue Create a Course button to create your first

course. You can edit or update course settings at anytime. The more detail you provide, the

easier it will be for your students to find your class. Once completed, let your students know

that your course is ready to join.

How to sync scores to D2L

iClicker Cloud score totals are synced to D2L as percentages normalized to the

points you defined in D2L. While points in iClicker Cloud are built up from zero,

the scores in D2L start at the maximum number of points and are updated every

time a sync is performed.

Example: Halfway through the term, an instructor has run 20 polling sessions

worth a total of 160 points. In D2L, the instructor defined the iClicker Cloud grade

item to be worth 50 points for their course. A student with a iClicker Cloud score

of 120 points will show a D2L score of 37.5 points when syncing scores.

iClicker Cloud: (120 pts earned) / (160 pts possible) = 0.75

LMS: (0.75)(50 pts possible) = 37.5 pts earned

Even though the percentage shown in iClicker Cloud is shown as an integer, the

synchronized percentage retains greater precision so that the D2L score is

converted accurately.

Example: After the first week of class, an instructor has run sessions worth a total

of 6 points. In D2L, the instructor defined the iClicker Cloud grade item to be

worth 100 points for their course. A student with a iClicker Cloud score of 5 points

will show a iClicker Cloud percentage of 83%, but the conversion in D2L displays

83.33.

iClicker Cloud: (5 pts earned) / (6 pts possible) = 0.8333 or 83% when

rounded

LMS: (0.8333)(100 pts possible) = 83.33 pts earned
