Subscriptions and devices: What should you buy?

What you need to purchase will depend on the requirements of your course. Your course may all the use of a mobile device for responses, in which case you will only need a "Subscription" but it may also require a physical clicker to make responses. Check with your syllabus and instructor to see what is required for your course. You can see pricing and make purchases through the PointSolutions website.  

After purchase

Once you've purchased a device or subscription you should go through your Blackboard course to Tools and click on Turning Account Registration to return to your profile page. There you can enter the Subscription Code or Clicker ID (shown on the back of your clicker) to complete your registration.

Verifying your registration

Your profile page will always show your current registration status. Once you're registered, your instructor will need to update their roster in their software to confirm the changes.

If you are using mobile responses only, you need a green check-mark next to "Subscriptions" and "Learning Management System" to be correctly registered. 

If you are using a clicker, you need a green check-mark next to "Subscriptions," "Response Devices," and "Learning Management System" to be correctly registered.
