I>Clicker Integration with ccc.brightspace.com
Step 1 Getting Started
Set Up Your iClicker Cloud Account
NOTE: You will need to download the iClicker Cloud Instructor Software if you intend to use Polling and
Quizzing modules. If you plan to only use the iClicker Attendance module, you can create your account
and course by visiting instructor.reef-education.com
TIP: You can also run the software from a thumb drive, though we recommend running iClicker Cloud
from your hard drive for best performance.
TIP: If you are using Attendance, you will not be able to run an Attendance session until at least one
student has joined your course.
1. Download the iClicker Cloud instructor software from iclicker.com
(https://www.iclicker.com/downloads/iclicker-cloud) and copy the extracted application to
your computer’s hard drive.
2. Launch the iClicker Cloud application and click the Create a New Account button or log in to an
existing account.
3. Complete the form to create an iClicker Cloud account. Because all iClicker Cloud data is saved
to the cloud, you will use this account to access your course data from anywhere.
4. Once the Course Dashboard opens, click the blue Create a Course button to create your first
course. You can edit or update course settings at anytime. The more detail you provide, the
easier it will be for your students to find your class. Once completed, let your students know
that your course is ready to join.

How to sync scores to D2L
iClicker Cloud score totals are synced to D2L as percentages normalized to the
points you defined in D2L. While points in iClicker Cloud are built up from zero,
the scores in D2L start at the maximum number of points and are updated every
time a sync is performed.
Example: Halfway through the term, an instructor has run 20 polling sessions
worth a total of 160 points. In D2L, the instructor defined the iClicker Cloud grade
item to be worth 50 points for their course. A student with a iClicker Cloud score
of 120 points will show a D2L score of 37.5 points when syncing scores.
iClicker Cloud: (120 pts earned) / (160 pts possible) = 0.75
LMS: (0.75)(50 pts possible) = 37.5 pts earned
Even though the percentage shown in iClicker Cloud is shown as an integer, the
synchronized percentage retains greater precision so that the D2L score is
converted accurately.
Example: After the first week of class, an instructor has run sessions worth a total
of 6 points. In D2L, the instructor defined the iClicker Cloud grade item to be
worth 100 points for their course. A student with a iClicker Cloud score of 5 points
will show a iClicker Cloud percentage of 83%, but the conversion in D2L displays
83.33.
iClicker Cloud: (5 pts earned) / (6 pts possible) = 0.8333 or 83% when
rounded
LMS: (0.8333)(100 pts possible) = 83.33 pts earned
