Creating an assessment

By creating assessments, you can collect results for each question and for the entire assessment at the same time. You can define feedback options that show whether students answered correctly, what the correct answer was and how the class performed on the question or the entire assessment.

You can install SMART Response software on any computer to create question sets that you can later copy to and run on the computer system in your classroom.
