- Order Devices: Many faculty at UVa incorporating clickers in their courses use i>Clicker 2. Faculty should include the appropriate ISBN (1429280476) in their book order. It's best to order iclicker2 devices separately (rather than in a textbook bundle) since students may already own the device. A student can use the same device in multiple classes.
- Verify your Classroom has a Base Station: Determine whether a base station has already been installed in the classroom where you'll be teaching by either looking for one in your classroom or contacting a classroom support group administrator by mailing cradmin@virginia.edu. If a base has not yet been installed, they will have one installed for you.
- Obtain an Instructor Kit: If you do not have an instructor kit you can email cradmin@virginia.edu to arrange to pick up one from our support office. The kit includes an instructor remote and a test base station for your use. Note: Current best practice is to keep your program data in an i>Clicker folder that you set up on your Home Directory (or on your own laptop). After each class, you'll sync those data with the i>Clicker server. Although there are other ways to keep your data, these instructions assume that you are using your Home Directory.
- Using UVaCollab: You will want to integrate i>Clicker into your UVaCollab course site to enable you to take daily roll-call using the clicker software and use the class members' responses as part of their class participation, etc... If you integrate i>Clicker into UVaCollab, you can easily grade assignments and import these data into your gradebook. For the most current copies of the needed software and notification of changes it is recommended that you join the Clickers Site in UVaCollab. The site is open to all (MyWorkspace:Membership:Joinable).
