Make sure you have already followed the steps in iClicker Cloud for Instructors Part 1: Logging in and Creating your Course

Polling Settings

You can customize settings for sharing poll information with students, scoring, and the Polling toolbar to meet the needs of your course. Changes made to these settings will apply to all future Polling activities. For more in-depth definitions of each setting please view the iClicker Cloud Course Settings page.

 

Sharing

Recommendation: Send a picture of your screen to student devices automatically whenever polling ends (if you're concerned about students being physically present). Send class results to student devices automatically whenever polling ends 

Scoring

Recommendation: Our recommendation is to award at least some points, whether Performance or Participation or both, to get the best value from polling. Setting point values to zero for either Performance or Participation will prevent points from being awarded in that area, allowing you to use only one of the two scoring methods in your course.

Toolbar

Recommendation: If you would like to allow flexibility for how long each poll will be open, we recommend that you select for the timer on the Polling toolbar to count up from 0 seconds, so you can manually select when each question will end.
