Outline the Transition

Change doesn’t happen overnight! Once you’ve decided that iClicker Cloud and the iClicker student app are right for your campus, your iClicker specialist can consult with you about the transition. One of the items you’ll be discussing with your iClicker specialist is an implementation timeline. Check out our template to get an idea of what this will look like.

Train the Trainers

Early in the implementation process, your iClicker team will host a “train the trainer” session for your internal staff who support iClicker Cloud and/or the iClicker student app. This will get your teams comfortable well before you start rolling out the new technology on your campus.

Sample Cloud Training

Schedule Classroom Computer Imaging

While iClicker Classic is installed locally on an instructor’s computer or USB drive, the iClicker Cloud desktop software is typically installed on classroom computers. Instructors log in with their credentials to access their course data and run in-class activities. Our installed version of iClicker Cloud software uses an MSI package to facilitate the imaging of classroom computers. We typically schedule major software releases between academic terms—with the annual required update occurring during a flexible window over the summer—to minimize disruptions to the classroom experience. You can manage notifications about optional releases through the MSI installer.

As an alternative, we offer a standalone version of iClicker Cloud software that instructors can install on classroom computers without admin rights. If your podium machines get wiped periodically, as a last resort instructors can install the standalone software on a USB drive and plug it in to the podium computer to run iClicker Cloud in class. As a best practice, however, we recommend imaging classroom machines.
