Clickers: Student Purchase and Registration

This guide details steps to set up and participate in classroom polling sessions.

• Step 1: Purchase ResponseCard LCD.

• Step 2: Identify Device ID.

• Step 3: Register Device ID in Blackboard Learn.

• Step 4: Use your clicker in class to respond to questions.

Step 1: Purchase ResponseCard LCD

Students can purchase clickers at the university bookstore. Select the ResponseCard LCD for purchase.

Step 2: Identify Device ID

The Device ID is a six digit hexadecimal number on the back of the clicker below the barcode. Device IDs contain characters from A to F and 0 to 9, and do not contain O, I, or L, characters that can be confused for zeros and ones.

Step 3: Register Clicker in a Blackboard Learn Course

After logging into Blackboard Learn at learn.uark.edu, choose a course that requires clickers.

1. Click Register Response Card under Course Tools.

2. In the Response Device ID field, enter the six digit code identified in Step 2 (above). Re-enter it in the Confirm Response Device ID field. Click Submit.

Step 4: Use Clicker in Class to Answer Questions

There is no clicker on/off key. The clicker will go into Sleep mode after a few seconds and will "wake up" when you press a button.

Set the clicker to the same radio frequency as your faculty by:

1. Pressing Channel

2. Entering the two digit channel number

3. Pressing Channel again

Press the corresponding key on the clicker to submit an answer to a classroom clicker question. A green light above the 3/C confirms your answer was sent. You may change your answer while polling is open by selecting another answer.
