If your instructor allows it, you may choose to use the PointSolutions mobile app on your smartphone, tablet, or web browser instead of a physical clicker.

Note: Using the PointSolutions mobile app requires an internet connection via wireless network or cellular service. Using your cellular connection may incur data charges from your mobile carrier. Additionally, if the wireless and cellular are not working for some reason in the classroom, then you will not be able to receive clicker points for that day unless you also have your physical clicker with you.

Remember: While the app is free to download, you must have a valid T subscription in order to use the PointSolutions mobile app.

Assuming that the instructor allows it, to use the app in class and receive points you must do all of the following:

  • If you did not purchase a clicker set that included the subscription card, then you must purchase a subscription from the PointSolutions page.
  • Create your account and add your subscription to this account.
  • Download the App to your smartphone or go to the PointSolutions page in a web browser.
  • Log into the PointSolutions mobile app or website.
  • Enter the session ID provided by your instructor at the beginning of each class meeting.
  • When polling is open submit your response.

    4. When polling ends, a chart of the class’s responses will be displayed on your screen.
