Keep students engaged in lessons

SMART Response VE helps keep students interested, involved and participating in lessons by giving them a way to individually respond to teacher questions. Students can participate in classroom assessments using Internet-enabled mobile devices, and once a question is complete, they receive feedback instantly and confidentially. To complete assessments, students simply log in to the SMART Response VE website to receive and answer the questions you create.

Gauge student understanding

SMART Response VE enables you to deliver assessments, whether created in advance or asked spontaneously at any point during a lesson, to gauge students’ comprehension. When students respond, their answers are automatically summarized into a pie chart or bar graph on a SMART Notebook page, so that you can take a closer look or add your own comments in digital ink.

Evaluate and manage student progress

With the Teacher Tools feature in SMART Response VE, you can create class lists, and view and manage all student assessment data in one location. You can also use the built-in gradebook to record test scores, track performance, evaluate trends, create reports or export results into third-party gradebooks for further analysis.

Integration with SMART Notebook software

Create dynamic questions and assessments by accessing SMART Response directly from within SMART Notebook software. With one touch you can deliver assessments on the SMART Board interactive whiteboard. You can also show assessment results on a SMART Notebook page and add comments in digital ink.

Mobile device-enabled

Students respond to assessments using Internet-enabled devices, such as computers, iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad mobile digital devices, Blackberry smartphone models, and phones on the Android mobile technology platform. To complete assessments, students simply log in to the SMART Response VE browser-based product to receive and answer the questions you have created.
