Find Missing Serial Number

Getting Started

You need to obtain an iClicker, register it in Quest and know your BOX NUMBER in order to participate in inclass quizzes and tests.

• The serial number on the back is a HEXADECIMAL number (digits 0-9 and letters A,B,C,D,E,F).
• There is a yellow "low battery" light; it is your responsibility to keep batteries fresh. Communication cannot be guaranteed if the light comes on.
• A green "vote status" light on the clicker means the signal was received.
• Warning: Wait until the status light goes out before pressing a second button.

View Your Box Number

• Log into Quest and select your course.
• The clicker box number is in the "course information" section at the top of that page.
• Note that your assigned box number for in-class assignments can be different in each course.

Quiz Mode

Your box number will be in the upper left-hand corner of your box on the grid.

Test your communication: When the grid is on the screen (and the timer is on), press any key and see the response (green color) in your box on the grid. If your box does not respond, it could be a clicker problem (battery) or you have not registered the clicker appropriately.

When you press additional keys, the box color will brighten briefly, then return to the original green.

Test Mode

The assignment is created, published and printed in Quest. Exams are disbursed to students in class.

Each question can have up to 10 choices (requiring multiple "keystrokes" for each response). The keystroke legend



remains in the upper right-hand corner of the screen.

Your box number is the same; once time has started, enter your version number, then navigate to the question of your choice and enter the appropriate key sequence for your response.

There is no "backspace and erase" button -- start typing the code from the beginning until the bad characters scroll out of your box.

• E is used as the "enter" key.
• CC E allows you to move back one question.
• CD E allows you to move forward one question.
• You can "wrap around" from the first question to the last by going "back" or from the last question to the first by going "forward."
• You cannot "backspace and erase" -- start typing the correct code again and the bad characters will scroll out of your box.

• In the heading of your exam you will see your version number followed by the code you need to enter (like Version 044 / AACDA ...).
• Slowly type AACDA.
  
  
  
  
If you make a mistake, start typing it again until the bad characters scroll out of your box.
• Press E.
  
• Check the number in your box against the version number on your exam.
  
  
  
  
If correct, press E again. If not correct, start typing the code AACDA again.

• If you enter the wrong version number, your only option is to bubble your answers on a scan sheet to be processed later.

• Grid responses when you submit an answer:
  RED (incorrect);    BLUE (correct);    GRAY (resubmission of a response -- no penalty);
  blinking YELLOW (response out of range -- no penalty)
  
  
• The question number 1 is displayed in the lower left-hand corner.
  
  
  
  
• Navigate to question 3: type CD E to move to question 2, then CD E to move to question 3.
  
  
  
  
• Type AB E -- red with response 2 indicated -- incorrect answer
  
  Example of feedback for incorrect answer:
  
  
  
• Go back to question 2: type CC E
• Type BB E -- blue with response 6 indicated -- correct answer
  
  Example of feedback for correct answer:
  
  
  

Find Missing Serial Number

Your instructor needs to launch the iClicker application and be at the point where the grid (with box numbers) is on the screen.

Find your serial number:

• Press any key on your iClicker.
• A new box will appear with a 6-digit HEX number (digits 0 - 9 and letters A - F) sent by your clicker.
• Write this down. It will be used to register your clicker on Quest.

• Log into Quest, and go into your PROFILE.
• Enter eight characters in the appropriate box -- the 6 digits from the app software followed by xx (two lower case letters).
