Since I was thoroughly confused, I thought you might be too. An iClicker is a remote for getting audience input during a presentation. I've never used one, but my school had something similar...

I hear some people saying it was part of their grade, and for participation and what else. I honestly have no idea how that's used. I get the gist of it, but not the entire image.
We have iClickers at UCF. They're remotes with buttons for A, B, C, D, and E. You register your remote's numerical code with the specific class online so that way they know whose remote belings to whom. The professor will typically post a question in the powerpoint, turn on the wireless signal receiver, and all the students will vote. The receiver stores all the data for which remote chose which answer and whatnot based on their unique signal, and the professor will indicate the correct answer after everyone has voted, so the receiver marks all those votes as correct. That's how they're used for participation, and just clicking any button will register and that way they can be used for attendance. I hope this didn't make it more confusing, I tried to explain it as best I could.
