Why Version 7?

During the 2014-2015 academic year, instructors experienced many disruptions in their use of iClicker version 6. UT Faculty who piloted version 7 during this same year experienced none of these problems. 

This is why we are asking all UT instructors to upgrade to version 7.

Additionally, Version 7 is superior to previous versions for the following reasons:

  1. One application that includes iClicker and iGrader
  2. No more separate integration wizard, and the problems that result.
  3. Increased stability and reliability
  4. All student data can be moved from previous versions if needed
  5. No more access tokens or security keys!!!
  6. Ability to aggregate polling sessions into the Canvas Gradebook into one grade column!

 

What is iClicker REEF?

REEF is a product of iClicker that will replace iClicker GO and is enables instructors to conduct polling sessions in which students click in using a traditional iClicker device or by using their cell phone as a clicker. REEF can be used in tandem with iClicker version 7, or as a stand-alone application that replaces version 7.

There are some advantages and disadvantages to using REEF. Do keep in mind that while we will help you find the answers you are looking for in a support situation, CTL and ITS are not currently supporting the REEF product at this time.
