Spring semester is upon us, and there are some major changes to the 蜜糖直播Clicker service.
The first change is an unexpected software update. Because Apple changed the way third-party applications install in the Sierra OS environment, the Office of Information Technology (OIT)听needs to update the i>clicker software mid-year.
If you already have i>clicker (version 7.4 or higher) installed and running on your computer, then you do not听need to make any changes this semester. But, if you need to install i>clicker on your computer, you will听need to .
Version 7.9 has been successfully tested in the classroom over the past semester. The only changes are in the installation procedure;听听Please follow the tutorial closely, as the installation procedure has changed听and needs to be followed exactly.听Failure听to do so will likely result in an error message, especially in the Mac install.听
Another big change this semester is that OIT has obtained a number of instructor clickers that faculty can check out on a semesterly basis (or longer if necessary). To obtain a clicker, you need an IdentiKey login name and a departmental speedtype against loss or breakage. Simply head to the front desk in the听Technology Learning Center听with your Buff OneCard and speedtype number.
Finally, OIT is offering trainings for the latest version of i>clicker. From downloading and installing the software听to figuring out how to get it to talk to D2L and learning how to use it in the classroom, OIT has you covered.听The听class is for novices and experienced users alike.
The remaining听sessions听are scheduled for Friday, Jan. 13, from 8:30 to 10 a.m. and Tuesday, Jan. 17, from 2 to 2:30 p.m. in the Technology Learning Center, room 215.听Please login with your Identikey to register.
