Course Details

• Select which activities you will be using in your Clicker Cloud course. Most instructors use the default Full Course option, which includes polls, quizzes, assignments, and attendance.
• Your Institution and Course Discipline will be filled in based on what you entered when you created your account. You can modify these fields here as needed.
• Enter your Course Name and the Start and End Date. 
• Under Enrollment, you can decide whether your course appears in search results for your institution in the Clicker student app. If you choose to make your course unlisted, students must enroll in your course via your course join code or an LMS integration.
