Pre-Assigning Question Titles and Answers
If you’d like to assign titles to your questions and/or the correct answer before your lecture (instead of
the default Q1, Q2 assignments given by i>clicker), you may create a question list le and save it in your
course folder. If you are teaching multiple sections or courses, you will need to include a questionlist.
csv le in each course folder.
Formatting the Questionlist File
The le must be in the format “question title, answer” with one question on each line, as shown in the
example below. In this example, the questions are titled “Question 1,” “Question 2,” and “Question 3,” and
the correct answers are “A,” “E,” and “B” respectively.
Question 1,A
Question 2,E
Question 3,B
The question list can be created using any application that generates a CSV-formatted le. The most
commonly used programs for this purpose are Microsoft Excel and Notepad. No matter what program
you choose to create the question list, you must also:
• Save the le within the iclicker Win\Classes folder so the software is able to locate and apply the
values you dened into i>grader.
• In the i>clicker Setting and Preferences select the Show question information before each
question radio button from the Polling Session tab.
