IClicker

iClicker is a popular polling tool available on campus. The advantage of iClickers over Vevox is that you can easily create and poll questions on-the-fly. Vevox requires that questions are pre-determined and input into the system in order to be polled.

Normally iClickers have a cost associated with it for students, however the University has secured a no-charge pilot from August 16th, 2024 to August 15th, 2025. As this is a centrally supported tool, see the EdTech hub for more information and resources.
