“One of the biggest advantages of i-Clicker is that there is no learning curve for students or instructors. [It is]…simple, easy to use and very reliable.”

Dr. Georgie Baker, University of South Carolina, Statistics

 

 

“I like the ability to, on a whim, simply ask a question of my students that I had not thought of initially. This is really a plus for the i>clicker system. By not tying your system to presentation software you have made my life that much easier.”

Dr. John Broida, University of Southern Maine, Psychology

 

 

“The i>clicker is far superior [to CPS] in terms of hardware/software performance and (most importantly) in ease of use. 

It's a great way to get real-time feedback on the effectiveness of your presentation.  It's perfect to use if you want to liven up a lecture.  It is not meant for high-stakes assessment.”

Glenn Lo, Nicholls State University, Physics

 

 

“My experience with i>clicker has been VERY positive.  Set-up AND break- down is a breeze–total time for both processes is less than a minute…Because the software is on a USB flash drive, no need to worry about software installation issues when using a new classroom or when presenting a guest lecture.  The system has worked flawlessly all semester.  I’ve done several workshops for other faculty on the iClicker system.  I describe it as easy to learn, easy to use, totally reliable and dependable, and a WONDERFUL tool for engaging students.”

Edna Ross, University of Louisville, Psychology

 

 

“[i>clicker is] superb; simple but reliable product that allows you to interact with the students (and vice versa).  It can provide instantaneous feedback as to whether students have grasped a concept and if not, the reasons for this.  It facilitates engagement of the students with the instructor and their peers.  Use every 20 minutes or so helps to keep students fresh and engaged.”

How would you describe i>clicker to your colleagues?

Indispensable. You can have it back when you pry it from my cold dead hands.

Grant McGregor, University of California-Irvine, Developmental and Cell Biology

 

 

“…I’m very glad I adopted your system and that we (my students and I) are having great fun with it.  I find that that it has added an additional level of interactivity into my lectures and discussions.  I think it has also stimulated more interest and motivation among my students…Anything new can be scary.  For some, anything involving a battery is even scarier.  iClicker is NOT scary.  It’s easy.  It’s fun. It’s effective.  After a VERY brief period of getting used to it, the clicker system becomes pretty invisible and fades back to become a tool for focusing on learning (rather than being the focus itself).”

Kevin Patton, St. Charles Community College, Anatomy and Physiology

 

 

“I am very happy with i>clicker.  It is everything you promised…It is extremely easy to use on a daily basis — I just plug the receiver unit into the computer’s usb port.  The system always works, something I don’t take for granted because I had a lot of problems with the system I used before learning about i>clicker.  

 

I especially love the simplicity of the i>clicker system.  I think that is one of your biggest selling points.  Other systems are unnecessarily complicated.  The extra “features” of other systems are not needed, and simply make the system harder to learn and more cumbersome to use. Simple to learn, simple to use.  It does what it’s supposed to do, it never fails or crashes, it just works!”

Ron Cronovich, University of Nevada-Las Vegas, Economics

 

 

 

 

 

“I am quite pleased with [i>clicker] and recommend it highly.”

Scott Ensign, Utah State University, Chemistry

 

“As compared with other products I’ve used (CPS and TurningPoint), the simplicity of this product was what really sold our committee on it when we chose it over the summer. I’ve found the software extremely easy to navigate, rarely needing to consult the User Guide, as most answers to my questions seem to be right within the software itself. By far, the best feature in my opinion is that users don’t need to be pre-registered with the system to participate in a session and have that participation recorded.

 

iClicker is truly a plug-and-play product that has a fast learning curve for anyone who’s comfortable (not an expert) with technology. We’ve also really appreciated the approach of the developers of the product, who realize what clickers should really be used for, and don’t spend time thinking about how to use it for final exams, or how to pull complicated data out of it. In addition, the one-time price is easier to manage for students than registration fees + clicker costs.”

Mary Scott, Wilfrid Laurier University, Educational Technology and Support 

 

 

“[My experience with i>clicker has been] excellent. Fast response…Registration is easy for the students. I use them in every class this semester. I like being able to indicate the correct answer in the software in class. I like that I do not have to put up a screen that shows the students when their response has been received.”

John Falconer, University of Colorado-Boulder, College of Engineering

 

 

“i>clicker is the best clicker system on the market for many reasons. It does not require you to use PowerPoint…it is easy for faculty and students to use. It is large enough to find at the bottom of a book bag and to see in a large auditorium with dim lighting, and it runs on a different radio frequency from our wireless network. Also, i>clicker is the recommended clicker system on our campus, so chances are good that as the use of i>clicker grows your students will already have purchased a clicker for another class. The cost is reasonable and does not require students any additional semester charges for using the clicker. Students report that the use of clickers helps them learn.”

Barbara Weaver, Clemson University, Educational Technology Services

 

 

“My experience has been extremely positive.  The system is simple, robust, trouble-free, easy to use, extremely reliable.

iClicker is the only way to go.  Don't try any other clickers, unless you like grief.”

Michael Dubson, University of Colorado-Boulder, Physics

 

 

“All testing faculty responded very positively on the use of the i>clicker classroom response system. Ease of use for spontaneous quizzing separated it from the competition.”

Dave Yonutas, Sante Fe Community College, Center for Instructional Design and Technology

 

 

“My experience was quite positive and I used the system more extensively than I expected. Clickers proved to be a useful tool for keeping track of students’ learning, and they liven the class.  It is a good tool for instant feedback and for keeping students alert.”

Andrzej Herczynski, Boston College, Physics
