Starting a class in Anonymous mode

You don’t need a class list to operate SMART Response software in Anonymous mode. See About Sign In and Anonymous modes for more information.

To start a class in Anonymous mode

1. In SMART Notebook software, select Response > Start Class, and then select Anonymous Mode.

   • If students are using clickers, the receiver’s Ready light flashes and then turns solid green, and the receiver’s Transmit light flashes green.

   • If SMART Response software is in CE mode, the name of the SMART Teacher file and class information appears in the student’s SMART Notebook SE software Quick Links tab.

   You can now ask the students to connect.

   Notes 

   • You can start a class and the assessment at the same time in SMART Notebook software by selecting Response > Start Assessment.

     If you don’t have a class list, the class starts in Anonymous mode. If you do have a class list, a No Classes Started dialog box appears where you can select Anonymous mode.

   • You can also start a class in Teacher Tools.

   • If the students are already signed in to a class using clickers or SMART Notebook SE software and you select Anonymous Mode, the software switches to Anonymous mode.

   • If the students are connected in Anonymous mode and you start a class that requires sign-in, the students are signed off and then asked to sign in.
