Alert
At the end of 2023, iClicker Classic will no longer be supported. All instructors who wish to continue using iClicker should plan the switch to iClicker Cloud for use no later than the beginning of Winter 2024 term.
Throughout this process, both iClicker and EdTech Support are committed to assisting you. The transition is designed to be simple, involving just four easy steps. For steps to transition, visit Before Class.
Select the proper software depending on whether or not you use Canvas.
Integrating iClicker with your Canvas course provides three advantages:
- Easier roster acquisition
