Selecting how students answer questions
Students can answer questions using one of these options:
-
SMART Response / Senteo clickers
-
SMART Response PE clickers
-
SMART Response LE clickers
-
SMART Response XE clickers
-
SMART Notebook SE (Student Edition) software on student computers
- SMART Response VE using Internet enabled devices
Each of these devices has a corresponding mode in SMART Response. When you or your system administrator first installed SMART Response, you selected the appropriate mode for the devices in your classroom. You can change the mode after installation using the SMART Response Setup Tool. You can also operate SMART Response in Mixed mode where you can use a combination of SMART Response clicker types simultaneously.
Notes
-
If you have more than one type of SMART Response clicker in your classroom, you can choose Mixed mode, or you can choose the mode that matches the type of clicker you’re using, and then use only that type of clicker while in that mode.
-
Some question types aren't available for all devices. See About question types for more information.
-
Although you can use SMART Response LE clickers in Mixed mode, students can only answer the first question of an assessment.
-
Students are unable to use SMART Notebook SE (SMART Response CE) or Internet enabled devices (SMART Response VE) while SMART Response is in Mixed mode.
