Comparing Vevox and iClicker Pilot

CAPTCHA
This question is for testing whether or not you are a human visitor and to prevent automated spam submissions.

ITMS and the TII are looking for instructors, students, and staff with experience using polling tools Vevox and iClicker to participate in a pilot during the Fall 2024 and/or Winter 2025 terms. Note that interested students can apply to join the pilot so long as they have experience using either polling tool; there is no requirement that students must join the pilot with their instructor. 

During this pilot: 

  • Vevox and iClicker will be made available at no cost for the duration of the limited time pilot (F24, W25). Participants need to be aware that there is no expectation that either tool will continue to be provided at no cost at the completion of the pilot. 
  • Participants will be expected to use one or both polling tools over the course of the fall and/or winter terms. 
  • Participants will be expected to provide feedback on one or both polling tools as per the requirements document that will be developed for a suitable polling tool (approximately 1-to-2- hour time commitment).

As participants in the pilot, your feedback will inform the decision on how the University will move forward. Any future direction must align with Policy 17: Quotations and Tenders and may result in a Request for Proposal to ensure a transparent competitive bidding process.

I am willing to provide feedback on Vevox and/or iClicker (please select all that apply)
I understand that the results of this pilot will not guarantee the university will move forward with any new or centrally funded agreements. The results will inform a decision that will also consider other factors such as projected future usage and requirements, budget, and other potential factors. If the university should choose to consider a centrally funded agreement for iClicker, Policy 17 dictates that software in this cost range be acquired through an open and transparent competitive bidding process that fairly compares all responses. If the university wishes to continue with the Vevox agreement following the pilot, the remainder of the contract following the pilot will be executed.
