How to Link iClicker Information to a Blackboard Course

Note: George Mason University does not centrally recommend or support any specific response/clicker system.

Hardware & Software Requirements

The instructor must have an iClicker base, at least one instructor iClicker and iClicker software (either on a flash drive or installed on a laptop).

Can you import a student roster into iClicker?

You can import your student roster (complete with registration data) into iClicker so polling data can be credited to your students. It is recommended that you Sync Roster after drop/add periods are over in order to keep your roster up-to-date.

Can you review a student remote registration?

You can review a report of your student remote registration information using the iClicker Instructor Tools. The registration information can be searched, sorted, and filtered. Students without a registered remote can be easily sent an email reminder to register.

Create a course

Click on + Create and enter the name of your course. Then click Create. A new course sub-folder is automatically created in the Classes folder.

Select "Blackboard Learn" for "Roster Source," enter your "Primary Institution" and click "Save"
