iClicker Attendance Feature

iClicker, a classroom response system supported by Cornell, offers an attendance tracking feature.  The Attendance Management allows instructors to:

• Track daily student attendance.
• Require students to be present in class, not allowing check-in or responses from a remote location.
• No daily Attendance activity is required by the instructors – Students check in themselves.
• View reports of attendance in iClicker Cloud.
• Add Attendance points to your Canvas course Gradebook.

There are other options for attendance.
Please see our Comparison of Attendance Options: iClicker, Poll Everywhere, and Canvas page.

Information for students:

Point students to iClicker’s Student Guide for Attendance and iClicker’s Student App Attendance Geolocation Tips.

Important Considerations:

• iClicker Attendance is geo-located, requiring students to be within a limited range of your classroom.
• Students check in using the iClicker Student app with their devices for daily attendance.
• If you use iClicker for in-class questions, students cannot bypass the geo-location setting and still respond to your activities.
• A report will show who is checked in and who was absent from that lecture.
• Please contact the Center for Teaching Innovation with any questions or concerns.
