One system for all your assessment needs

SMART Response PE interactive response system combines handheld wireless remotes (or clickers), a receiver and powerful assessment software that allows you to create tests and manage, track and evaluate the results. SMART Response software guides you through every task with intuitive prompts, clear directions and direct links. You always know what step you're on and where to go next. Best of all, SMART Response PE integrates seamlessly with SMART Notebook collaborative learning software, giving you all the tools you need to design engaging and interactive test material.

Create assessments easily

SMART Response PE provides everything you need to easily prepare quizzes, tests and exams or spontaneously add questions to lessons. The system combines the assessment power of SMART Response software with the lesson-creation tools and features of SMART Notebook software.

Using SMART Response PE with SMART Notebook software allows you to create your own test material that can be easily integrated into any lesson or assessment activity. You can also choose from hundreds of ready-made SMART Response question sets available on SMART’s education website, or import questions and quizzes from third-party software applications and question banks.

Manage classroom data instantly and effortlessly

Once students respond to questions using their remotes, the assessment software in SMART Response PE automatically summarizes results in a pie chart or bar graph. This instant response enables you and your students to see if the majority of the answers are correct, or if further review is required. By seeing results right away, you can adjust your teaching on the fly and be assured that every student in the classroom understands the lesson. Thanks to Teacher Tools, test results are also automatically added to the built-in gradebook and saved in a single file, which helps you organize data. The gradebook's privacy mode allows you to restrict viewing of sensitive information, such as student identification data and test scores.

Evaluate student progress quickly

With SMART Response PE, you can access, view and manage all assessment data in one location. Tag student names or assessment questions with keywords to track characteristics that will help you measure and evaluate performance. Create reports that are as simple or as detailed as you need - from pie charts showing individual student achievement to bar graphs comparing class performance. You can even create assessment reports that show grades for the entire school year.

Work with familiar products and applications

SMART Response PE is integrated with SMART Board interactive whiteboards and SMART Notebook software, as well as other education software and Microsoft Word, which means you can use it with the equipment you already have, without extra training required. You can also upload test results to third-party gradebooks.
