Currently, at the University of Manitoba, iClicker base receivers are installed in over 30 classrooms on the Fort Garry campus. For a list of rooms that have iClicker base receivers already installed, please click here to view the Classroom and Theatre Information page.

The iClicker is a classroom response system supported by Audio Visual and Classroom Technology Support. We can provide direction on how and where to use them as well as technical support.

What are iClickers?

iClickers are user-friendly hand-held remote devices with buttons that students press to respond to questions posed by their instructor. The iClicker then transmits the student responses to an iClicker base receiver, which are then recorded on the computer or a USB flash memory stick. You can then display a graphical distribution of the results via the classroom data projector. The iClicker remote has 5 buttons, A through E. When a student clicks one of these buttons, a radio frequency signal transmits the response to the receiver. For more information about the iClicker System, go to http://www.iclicker.com/.
