How do I enable grade syncing in iClicker Cloud for my course?

After the iClicker Cloud tool has been added to your site, it will need to be configured for your class.  This will allow you to sync grades from iClicker activities into Gradebook.  

Students will also be able to register their iClicker accounts with the course.   

Note: Only those in the Instructor role will be able to complete these steps.
