By setting the default preferences, administrators can create campus-specific preferences that will display to all instructors using i>clicker on that campus. The default preferences feature is most commonly used to establish a default course management system and enter a campus web/security code for locally hosted i>clicker registration that will be distributed to all faculty.
Open i>clicker (if you haven't already done so) and Add a Course using a generic course name (e.g., e.g., Sample Cal State Course-101-001).
Open the course that you just created by highlighting the new course and clicking Choose.
Click Your Settings and Preferences.
Set the settings and preferences to whatever settings you would like instructors to inheret when they create new courses in i>clicker. (Example: adding your campus-specific URL or code into the Web Registration security code field if you are hosting registration locally rather than using the national i>clicker registration site.)
Click Set for Course when you are finished setting your campus default preferences.
Close i>clicker.
Copy the file Config.csv from the Session Data folder within your course folder (e.g., iclicker Win\Classes\Sample Cal State Course-101-001\Session Data).
Paste the Config.csv file into the iclicker Win\Resources folder.
From within the Resources folder, rename the Config.csv file to Seed_Config.csv.
(Optional) Delete the generic course folder that you created (e.g., iclicker Win\Classes\Sample Cal State Course-101-001).
Once you’ve taken the above steps, your default campus preferences will be applied all new classes. Instructors will still have the option to set their own preferences by changing the preferences for their classes in Your Settings and Preferences. You can remove the default preferences at any time by deleting the Seed_Config.csv file.
Note: You cannot set default preferences for the Course Name and Instructor Remote fields. Instructors must enter the data for these fields themselves.
