Reviewing results after an assessment

You can use SMART Response software to collect and display results instantly after you run an assessment. You can use assessments as an interactive learning tool and as a way to give students continual feedback on what they’re learning. Results for each question can be displayed as a bar chart or a pie chart. For numeric and text questions, you can also view student results using the Word Cloud Results Visualizer. The results appear in the word cloud as separate text boxes that increase in size for each instance of that answer.

To display class assessment results

1. After all students answer the questions, return to the assessment’s title page.

2. Click SMART Notebook’s Response tab if it isn’t already open.

3. Select Progress > Stop this assessment.

   The Progress button changes to Results. A summary of the class’s performance appears, including a chart showing the class’s responses to each question.

4. If you want to view more detailed class results, click Show beside Details.

   A list of students, their grades and the duration of the assessment appears.

   Important 

   Use discretion when displaying sensitive grade information to all class members. If you started the class in Sign In mode, consider clearing the Remember names check box before you start the assessment to hide student names in the Response tab. (You can later review, print and export the results in Teacher Tools.)

   Note 

   If you start the class in Anonymous mode or clear the Remember names check box before you start the assessment, student names display as Anonymous-1, Anonymous-2, and so on.
