Clickers for Students
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)
- Using Physical Clickers in Class
- Using Mobile Device in Class
