Information about REEF system
Instructions with screenshots are found here: Instructions for student REEF users
1. Go to reef-education.com and click "download". Look in the "Student Web App" box. iOS users will click the icon for the apple store to download (it's free). All other users will click the big blue square with the fish symbol in it for the student web app (it works very nicely on a droid phone). Then follow the instructions in the guide.
2. It is extremely important to take your time and spell your login information carefully! However, if you make a mistake, DO NOT create a second account - all info can be edited.
3. In the screenshot for Step 3, there is now a box that says "Student ID (optional)". This is not optional. Enter your Blackboard ID here - that is all the letters and numbers before the "@" sign in your university email.
Only for students using i-Clicker remotes: The way to register a remote is outlined here.
The top set of instructions is for students who have not yet created a REEF account. If you have previously created a REEF account, you should follow the directions halfway down the page (while logging into your existing REEF account).
