The new Assignments activity type in iClicker Cloud extends iClicker’s signature student engagement experience to asynchronous class meetings.

Assignments are great for pre-class, post-class, breakout, or lab activities in synchronous classes, too! This session is vendor hosted and facilitated by Missouri Online.
