Loaning a Clicker

If students forget their i>clicker remote, you can loan one for a single lecture. To associate the loaned clicker with a student for one lecture only, you should perform a temporary or loaner registration.

Warning

NOTE: When loaning a clicker for one session, you must first start the session and then select the Loan Clicker option from the Session Toolbar Options Toolbar Options Button drop-down menu.

To loan a clicker for one session:

  1. From the i>clicker Home screen, click Start Session.
  2. Click the Options button Toolbar Options Button on the Session Toolbar and then select the Loan Clicker menu option.
  3. The Loan Clicker window appears.

  1. Enter the student's Remote ID, select the student name from the Student drop-down menu, and select One Session (Loan) from the Register for drop-down menu.
  2. Click Save to assign the remote ID to the selected student for one session only.

If this option is used, the assignment of the i>clicker remote ID is tied to that student for one lecture only. This temporarily overrides any permanent registration. The student will receive credit for any votes during that lecture and these will be synchronized with existing scores. In subsequent classes, the student can resume using his/her regular clicker.
