Applications

The MSB Tech Center now supports the iClicker Reef application. Various professors will be using it in classes starting September 2019.

The iClicker Reef student experience is universal and independent of the instructor software preference (iClicker Cloud or iClicker Classic).  It's important that students include their Student ID when setting up their accounts. You may have different Student IDs on campus; this would be the one associated with Canvas.

2. Sign up and create an iClicker Reef account.

3. When creating an account, select Georgetown University McDonough School of Business as the institution.

4. Include your Canvas Student ID when creating your account

5. After creating an account, login to iClicker Reef using your new iClicker Reef credentials.

6. Click Add a Course.

7. Select the same institution name used in step 3.

8. Search for your instructor's name, your course name, and select your course.

9. Click Add This Course

Below are instructions for instructors using the iClicker Cloud:
