WEB>CLICKER OPTIONAL SYLLABUS ATTACHMENT
NOTES TO INSTRUCTOR:
 If you would like to identify individual student responses and assign grades for student
responses we recommend that you add i>clicker registration instructions to your
syllabus. Students will then understand why they are purchasing i>clicker and how the
devices will tie into your grading rubric.
 If you are using Web registration, the key to your success is deciding before registration
which student ID will be used. If you are using a Learning Management System (LMS) to
record grades (like Blackboard, ANGEL, Moodle), students should use their LMS ID.
Include instructions in your syllabus with the specific ID you decide to use so that the
students are clear on what ID they will be using to register.
 Decide upon a policy for students who cannot or do not register their clickers
successfully. Do you want them to find you after class? In your office hours? Email you
their remote ID and student ID for manual registration?
 Communicate clear expectations to students for bringing their i>clicker2 remote to class
each day and what the consequences of not bringing it will be for your students.
 If you are assigning points for clicker use, you also may wish to specify how many in the
syllabus.
 You might include an edited version of the following in your syllabus:
GENERAL SYLLABUS INSTRUCTIONS:
In this course, you have the option of using an i>clicker, i>clicker+, or i>clicker2 remote, or using
web>clicker, which enables you to vote via a web-enabled device like a laptop or smart phone.
PLEASE NOTE that web>clicker cannot be used in a course where your instructor has not
enabled web>clicker. Check with your instructor to ensure that web>clicker is permitted in each
course you take—otherwise, you may want to consider purchasing a remote so that you can use
it in all your courses. Only purchase a web>clicker subscription if:
1. You will not be using i>clicker in another course that does not allow web>clicker as an
alternative to purchasing a remote.
2. You do not plan to sell back a remote to the bookstore.
3. You have access to a wireless device (i.e. a laptop, iPhone, iPod Touch, or Android)
running a browser that supports AJAX, JavaScript, and HTTPS requests such as Internet
Explorer, Firefox, or Safari.
Be sure to check with your instructor if you have questions about the possibility of using
web>clicker in your course(s).
SYLLABUS INSTRUCTIONS FOR WEB REGISTRATION:
You are required to purchase an i>clicker remote for in-class participation. i>clicker is a
response system that allows you to respond to questions I pose during class, and you will be
graded on that feedback and/or your in-class participation. In order to receive this credit, you
will need to register your i>clicker remote by [deadline set by instructor]. If you have decided
to purchase web>clicker instead of a remote, please see below for registration instructions.
You must have come to class at least once and voted on at least one question in order to
complete this registration properly. Once you have responded to a question with your i>clicker
remote, go to http://www.iclicker.com/registration. Complete the fields with your first name,
last name, student ID, and remote ID. Your student ID should be [student ID chosen by
instructor]. The remote ID is the series of numbers and sometimes letters found on the bottom
of the back of your i>clicker remote. i>clicker will be used every day in class, and you are
responsible for bringing your remote daily.
If you have decided to use the web>clicker option, proceed with the following steps to purchase
and register your web>clicker account:

your web>clicker responses.

other resources.
SYLLABUS INSTRUCTIONS FOR IN-CLASS (“ROLL CALL”) REGISTRATION: *this method is not
recommended for classes with over 30 students
You are required to purchase an i>clicker remote for in-class participation. i>clicker is a
response system that allows you to respond to questions I pose during class; you will be graded
on that feedback and/or your in-class participation. In order to receive this credit, you will need
to register your i>clicker remote in class. I will project a Registration screen with 3 steps to
follow (look for your [student ID], which will alphabetically scroll down the screen). Once your
remote is registered, your [student ID] will no longer appear on that scrolling list and you are
registered for the entire semester.
If you have more questions, please visit the Registration area of www.icicker.com.
i>clicker will be used every day in class, and you are responsible for bringing your remote daily.
(Note to instructor: [student ID] = the type of student ID that you have chosen to use, as noted in
the instructions above.)
OPTIONAL I>CLICKER POLICIES
Sample of cheating policy for syllabus:
I consider bringing a fellow student’s i>clicker to class to be cheating and a violation of the
University Honor Code. If you are caught with a remote other than your own or have votes in a
class that you did not attend, you will forfeit all clicker points and may face additional
disciplinary action.
Sample of forgotten clicker for syllabus:
Please realize that we will be using i>clicker in almost every class and clicker points will make up
[X%] of your final grade. Please remember that it is your responsibility to come prepared to
participate with a functioning remote everyday. However, I do realize that difficult
circumstances do arise, and for this reason I will drop the lowest [#] i>clicker session from your
total participation grade.
Sample of broken/lost clicker policy for syllabus:
If you have lost or broken your i>clicker remote, you will have to purchase another one. Please
email me with your new Remote ID so that I can manually register your new remote.
