Support advanced math and science content

SMART Response XE enables students to respond to questions using open-ended answers. The remotes allow students to input mathematical equations and scientific functions, such as quadratic equations, giving you the ability to cover more advanced content. With the intelligent grading feature, you can also choose the range of acceptable answers for a question, allowing for multiple representations of the correct answer.

Keep students engaged in lessons

SMART Response XE helps keep students interested, involved and participating in lessons by giving them a way to individually respond to teacher questions. Students can answer questions with their handheld remotes, and once a question is complete, they receive feedback instantly and confidentially on their remotes. The class results are also shown anonymously, so students can compare and learn from each other’s answers.

Gauge student understanding

SMART Response XE 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 as 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 for further review.

Evaluate and manage student progress

With the Teacher Tools features in SMART Response XE, 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 in 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.

Question variety

Ask different types of questions, including true-or-false, yes-or-no, multiple choice, text-based, and math expressions and scientific functions.

Import existing questions

Import your own questions from Microsoft Word (Windows only), a PDF (Mac only) and EXAMVIEW. You can also download SMART Notebook lessons with SMART Response assessments from the SMART Exchange website.

Questions integrated into lessons

Compile tests for formative and summative assessment, prepare quizzes or exams in advance and ask spontaneous questions to gauge students’ comprehension at any point during a lesson.

Intelligent grading

Choose the range of acceptable answers for a question, allowing for multiple representations of the correct answer when students provide equation-based answers for subjects such as physics or algebra.

Display test results immediately

Automatically summarize student responses as a pie chart or bar graph. You can also view assessment progress before all students have submitted final answers.

Anonymous mode

Allow your students to respond with complete confidentiality.

Built-in gradebook

Use the built-in gradebook to track performance and record test results, which are automatically collected and saved.

Teacher Tools

Create class lists or import existing class lists (.xls format), set up, conduct and manage tests and quizzes – all from one location.

Export assessment results

Export results in Microsoft Excel format (.xls) or text format (.csv). Customize text files by choosing the fields required for the report, including question-level data.

Weighted marking

Assign different point values to individual questions within a test or quiz. You can also adjust student scores in the built-in gradebook.

Tagging

Tag student names and assessment questions with keywords to track specific characteristics that will help you measure and evaluate student performance.

Privacy setting

Use the privacy mode in the system’s built-in gradebook to ensure sensitive student identification details and test scores aren’t seen by other students or teachers.

Multiple print options

Print quizzes as handouts so students can complete them at their own pace, or add comments to completed tests that can be printed and used later as study guides.

Radio frequency (RF) technology

Experience the convenience of the system’s RF technology, which provides a reliable and convenient wireless connection between the student remotes and central receiver. You don’t need a line of sight to deliver questions or submit answers, and the remote has a range of up to 100' (30 m).

Easy connection and installation

Connect the receiver to a computer using a USB connection. The receiver can be either mounted on a wall or placed on a desk. No extra power supply is required.

Convenient maintenance features

View power status through LED lights on the receiver. You can also see whether information has been sent or received.

Intuitive on-screen links

Proceed easily through every task using clear links and simple prompts that guide you step by step.
