Support advanced math and science content

SMART Response XE enables students to respond to questions using open-ended answers. The remotes allow students to input mathematical equations and scientific functions, such as quadratic equations, giving you the ability to cover more advanced content. With the intelligent grading feature, you can also choose the range of acceptable answers for a question, allowing for multiple representations of the correct answer.

Keep students engaged in lessons

SMART Response XE helps keep students interested, involved and participating in lessons by giving them a way to individually respond to teacher questions. Students can answer questions with their handheld remotes, and once a question is complete, they receive feedback instantly and confidentially on their remotes. The class results are also shown anonymously, so students can compare and learn from each other’s answers.

Gauge student understanding

SMART Response XE enables you to deliver assessments, whether created in advance or asked spontaneously at any point during a lesson, to gauge students’ comprehension. When students respond, their answers are automatically summarized as a pie chart or bar graph on a SMART Notebook page, so that you can take a closer look or add your own comments in digital ink for further review.

Evaluate and manage student progress

With the Teacher Tools features in SMART Response XE, you can create class lists, and view and manage all student assessment data in one location. You can also use the built-in gradebook to record test scores, track performance, evaluate trends, create reports or export results into third-party gradebooks for further analysis.

Privacy setting

Use the privacy mode in the system’s built-in gradebook to ensure sensitive student identification details and test scores aren’t seen by other students or teachers.

Print quizzes as handouts so students can complete them at their own pace, or add comments to completed tests that can be printed and used later as study guides.

Radio frequency (RF) technology

Experience the convenience of the system’s RF technology, which provides a reliable and convenient wireless connection between the student remotes and central receiver. You don’t need a line of sight to deliver questions or submit answers, and the remote has a range of up to 100' (30 m).

Easy connection and installation

Connect the receiver to a computer using a USB connection. The receiver can be either mounted on a wall or placed on a desk. No extra power supply is required.
