iClicker Cloud

Getting Started with iClicker Cloud

Follow the steps listed here to start using iClicker Cloud in your course.

Go to the iClicker Cloud download page and select Windows or Mac to download the application, then follow the directions on the website to install it.
Open the iClicker Cloud application that downloads.
Click Create Account on the login screen.
Type "UBC" as your primary institution, and choose University of British Columbia when it appears in the dropdown.
Enter the rest of your information. You do not need to enter an Instructor Remote ID code.
Review and agree to the privacy and use of personal information policies, then click Create.
Note: you can use the same iClicker account to test iClicker as a student by logging in to the student web portal or the iClicker Reef mobile app.

Open the iClicker Cloud application and sign in.
Click the + New Course button.
Select which activities you will be using in your course.
Your institution will be filled in based on what you entered when you created your account. Please ensure this still says "University of British Columbia".
Enter the rest of your information for your class. Course Discipline, Course Name, Start and End Date are mandatory; we also recommend filling in Course ID, Term, and Meeting Times for additional clarity for your students.
Click Create.

Log in to Canvas and select the course you’d like to sync.
Click Settings at the bottom of the Course Navigation menu.
Click the Navigation tab.
Find the iClicker Sync menu item, click the options menu (the 3 vertical dots), and choose Enable.

Save your setting changes at the bottom of the page.
Click iClicker Sync where it now appears in the Course Navigation. This action will launch the iClicker Cloud web interface. Log in to your iClicker Cloud account. If this is your first time syncing with iClicker, Canvas may ask if you wish to authorize iClicker Sync to access your account. Click authorize to proceed.

In the iClicker Cloud web page, click Link Course, select the iClicker course name, and click Next. If you have gone through this process before with another course, then click + Link Another Course instead.
Select the section(s) you’d like to link and click Save and Link Courses.
- If you want each section to have a different iClicker course, repeat the above steps an additional time for each section.
At the top right of the page, click Launch iClicker Cloud.
Your list of linked courses will appear. Click the course name you want to sync, and in the window that comes up, select Settings in the left panel.
Click the Integrations tab.
Click the Grade Sync Integration toggle so it says "on".
Choose Canvas from the "Select a Platform" dropdown menu. A new set of options will appear.
1. Select Enhanced Grade Sync from the syncing options.
2. Click the Next button.
A large button will appear on the page. Click Verify Your Integration Setup. This verification should confirm your Canvas course information. If it does not, please contact ctl.helpdesk@ubc.ca for assistance.
Select how you would like your iClicker Cloud scores to sync with the Canvas gradebook. We recommend using Sync Total Score for most users (for more information, see iClicker Cloud: Exporting/Pushing Grades to Canvas).
Click Save at the top of the screen to complete the setup.
