Locking sign-in

You can block students from signing in to your class. Select the Lock Sign In button to block students from signing in before you’re ready or to block late students from signing in. When you start a class, sign-in is unlocked by default. If you stop and restart SMART Response software or open a new class list, sign-in unlocks.

Notes 

  • In PE, LE and XE modes, you can lock sign-in only in Sign In mode.

  • In CE mode, you can lock sign-in in Sign In and Anonymous modes.

  • You are unable to lock sign-in in VE mode.
