Considering a Transition from Classic to Cloud?

Understand Key Differences in iClicker Cloud

There’s a lot in iClicker Cloud that will feel familiar to iClicker Classic instructors. However, there are also some key differences that could become pain points later on if instructors expect iClicker Cloud to function exactly the same as iClicker Classic. Check out our visual transition guide for switching from iClicker Classic to iClicker Cloud. You’ll have additional opportunities to get trained on iClicker Cloud later in the implementation process, so you can be prepared to explain these differences to your faculty.

Evaluate Your Campus Wifi

Before transitioning your campus to iClicker Cloud, we recommend evaluating your campus wifi infrastructure to ensure it can support iClicker Cloud and the iClicker student app. iClicker Cloud and the iClicker student app are regularly used in large lecture halls with 500 students, but they do require a robust wifi connection, even if you continue to support physical remotes at your institution. Every campus wifi network and access point is different; some campuses have only a handful of rooms or buildings that can support iClicker Cloud and iClicker student app usage. A general best practice is to make sure a classroom has enough access points to handle 3 times as many devices as the number of students present in the class. Learn more.

Update Your iClicker Support Materials

In this phase, we offer recommendations for instructor and student support resources that you can customize for your institution.

Tracking iClicker Cloud/Student App Usage on Your Campus

In this phase, you’ll gain access to iClicker usage reports and a support tool to keep your implementation on track.
