Picture of Peter HeckelLive polling is a great way to make lectures more interactive. UC Berkeley sponsors two online polling tools, Poll EveryWhere and iClicker Cloud. In this session, we will review the basics of iClicker Cloud

With iClicker Cloud, you no longer need physical clickers! iClicker’s software works right on top of your slides capturing questions automatically and allowing you to poll quickly and easily. No plugins are needed to embed questions into your slides. 

In this workshop, you will learn how to:

  • Create an account, download, and install iClicker Cloud

  • Create polls 

  • Sync and import student rosters from bCourses

  • Export graded responses into bCourses 

Don't miss this opportunity to transform your classroom into an interactive and engaging learning environment.

This session will run for 30 minutes, with an additional 15 minutes reserved for questions. This event will take place in-person at 117 Dwinelle Hall (Academic Innovation Studio). Please RSVP if you're planning to join
