SMART Response VE

Don't have access to a Response receiver in the lab? Want to try out something new? Response VE is a way to have students respond to a test that you are giving online. Any tool that they have that has internet access can be used. If a student is at home sick, on vacation or you are in your lab - you can give an assessment (without using a receiver). If you are a teacher who is presenting to other teachers - this would also be a great way to give an assessment if you don't have a receiver available. Do a pre-assessment and find out what they know before you begin your presentation.

1. Create your assessment in notebook as you normally would. However, I have found that multiple choice questions are the only format that worked. I am assuming it is due to it still being a beta version. Save and close your notebook.

2. Go to "all programs," "SMART technologies," "SMART Response," "Set up tool," and change the response type to VE.

3. Open your notebook, start a class and start assessment. The assessment will be processed and a 6 digit code will pop up on your screen.

4. Students go to response.smarttech.com and log in with the code and their ID. They take the assessment on their device at their own pace.

5. Stop the assessment and review the results as you normally would. The student sees their score on their device.
