Attention iClicker users,

Starting in July 2019, iClicker will no longer be supported as a student response system (SRS) at the University of Alberta. iClicker base stations will be removed from labs and classrooms and technical support for iClickers will no longer be provided by IST.

This decision has been made based off of feedback to replace iClicker with a web accessible system that is free to use, integrated with eClass, and does not require students to purchase a separate device.
