Eligibility
Any UNL instructor may use this tool.
Pricing
If you are only using iClicker for attendance, there is no cost for students. If you want to use iClicker beyond that, like for in-class polling and quizzes, there is a charge to students. Students can either purchase an access code or physical remote from the campus bookstore.
Requirements
If you have students who opt to purchase a physical iClicker remote instead of purchasing an iClicker access code to be able to respond from a mobile device or laptop, your classroom must have an iClicker base station for their remote to function. Please refer to this list for classrooms with iClicker base stations (iClicker is listed under the Student Response System column if a classroom has an iClicker base):

If all of your students are using mobile devices or laptops for iClicker response with an access code, you can use iClicker Cloud in any classroom.
