How do I update Gradebook with iClicker grades?
Grades from iClicker activities can be added to Gradebook in one of two ways . . .
- Use a single gradebook item - Syncing grades from the iClicker interface for your course will create one gradebook item that will be updated each time you sync grades. This method can be used to track student participation throughout the semester.
- Use multiple gradebook items - Export a file from iClicker that can be imported into Gradebook to create one or more gradebook items. Use this option if you would like to have a separate gradebook item for each iClicker activity.
Use a single gradebook item.
Warning: This option can only be used after the iClicker Cloud tool has been added to your site and properly configured. Steps for adding and configuring the tool can be found in our Help article How do I configure the iClicker Cloud tool? (opens in new window).
