Demographic Settings
i>clicker includes the option to collect student demographic data. The demographic data is easy to collect and can be
used in class to filter (slice) the student polling results. Filtering polling results can help facilitate classroom discussion
by allowing students to view the Results Charts filtered by demographic data such as Gender, Political Affiliation, etc.
As an instructor, you may add, edit, delete, and import demographic questions.
