  • iClicker Bundle & Change in Price this Fall

    UConn has supported iClickers in the classrooms for over five years.  With the release of iClickers online (Cloud/REEF) polling option, we were able to negotiate a new bundle from iClicker for the students this fall which includes the remote and the mobile app for five years.  The cost to the student would be $54.65 from the Bookstore, a discount from the price of the iClicker and REEF polling purchased separately.  In addition, if students have previously purchased an iClicker remote, they will be able to purchase just the Cloud/REEF version at a nominal price prorated for the number of years needed.  We are waiting for iClicker to provide us the price for just the REEF version and to create a portal through which students can purchase the software for their device (phone, laptop or tablet). 

    While the iClicker device only allows multiple choice polling, the Cloud/REEF version allows for additional question types including short answer, numeric, and image/hotspot.  If you decide to use iClicker Cloud and want to use the new question types then all your students must use the app, not the iClicker remote.  There will be training sessions to prepare instructors using the new version and the current version in the fall.  Please go to http://edtech.uconn.edu and click on “HuskyCT & Other EdTech Training” to sign up for a session or go to http://fins.uconn.edu  to register.
