Testing Response Using Another Device

Step 3 - To experience student polling firsthand, open a new browser window or find another web-enabled device such as a smartphone or tablet. Using a second device will provide a more realistic simulation of the student experience. From your browser or second device, visit the student website at student.iclicker.com  and log in using the credentials for the instructor account you created before (using the Campus Portal sign in link!)

Step 4 - Add the course you created above by selecting the “+” button and searching for your course institution and course name.

Step 5 - Join the session and respond to the question(s) on the second device.
