iClicker Events allow you to run polling questions without requiring your audience to create an iClicker account to participate. Using an event is a great alternative to running polls in a Course when your poll is a one-off session and you are not concerned about measuring an individual’s performance or tracking progress across multiple sessions.

To start an event, you must use the desktop application (Cloud 5.6.0 or newer). |
Notes:
Once started, an event can last up to 12 hours. For multi-day engagements, facilitators should create a separate event for each day. As a best practice, include the day in the event name and description. For example, create separate events “2024 Spring Orientation - FRIDAY” and “2024 Spring Orientation - SATURDAY” for an event spanning two days.
There is no cap on the number of participants that may join an event but local infrastructure/network capabilities should be considered when planning an event. iClicker Events has been successfully tested with up to 1500 participants.
