Do You Need to Buy a Clicker?

Instructors may allow the use of mobile devices (smartphones, tablets, or computers) to respond to in-class polls or may require the use of a hardware clicker (can be purchased at the VolShop). Check with your instructor to verify what is required for your class.

Setting Up Your Clicker or Device

• Creating an Echo360 PointSolutions Account (for Students) (and registering your clicker)
• Clickers: Creating a Echo360 PointSolutions Account without a Canvas Course Navigation Link (Students)

All participants using PointSolutions must use the NetID@tennessee.edu format when creating accounts and logging in to a polling session. This will ensure the participant is connected to the correct profile and session data is saved correctly.

• Using Physical Clickers in Class
• Using Mobile Device in Class

*Echo360 recommends that students do not use a VPN when submitting attendance or when responding to polling questions due to latency or GPS location issues.

Point Solutions by Echo360 is the campus-supported personal response system for classroom polling. A subscription/license is provided to all students through the TechFee.
