Responding to Questions
In order for your clicker to be recognized by the software used in class, the personal device ID code embedded in your clicker must be registered with the MCDB clicker database so your instructor will know which responses are yours.  Each student must have a unique personal device ID code so it is not possible to share clickers with another student even if they are enrolled in a different class using the clickers. 
  • To register your ResponseCard RF clicker (device), please note the alphanumeric code which is your personal device id on the back your transmitter (see below).
  • Login to the MCDB Clicker Database web site using your course username and password
    http://tutor.lscf.ucsb.edu/TPEMstudent
  • Once logged in you must first register the serial number of your clicker:
    • Click on the "Add Device" link on the menu bar
    • Type in the serial number (Personal Device ID) in both the "Key Pad" and "Confirm ID" boxes,
      (please do this very carefully as entering the wrong code can cause serious problems.  The Device ID code is hexadecimal and thus will never have the capital letter O or the lower case letter l.
    • Click the "Add" button


     

  • Now, associate your clicker with the class you are enrolled in:
    • Click on the "Add Class" menu item. You'll see a list of all MCDB classes using the clicker this quarter.  
    • Click the "Select" link at the left of the class name (make sure you get the correct quarter and instructor for the class you are taking!) and it will be highlighted.
    • Click the "Add to Class" button above to register your clicker with your class

  • You may repeat the add to class procedure for all the classes you are using the same transmitter in during this quarter.

  • If you lose your transmitter and need to purchase a new one, then you must repeat the same procedure with the new device id for all your classes
  • If you have successfully registered your clicker for the class you are in, it should show up on your tpem home page when you
     login
  • Please do not change your password in this interface.   If you do change your password, it will automatically revert to your original password within an hour.
