Frequently asked questions

What type of learning environment is best suited to SMART Classroom Suite?
SMART Classroom Suite is designed for classrooms where every student has a computer, laptop or netbook.

How do the components of SMART Classroom Suite work together?
The following examples show some of the ways the software suite’s components are integrated. Teachers create questions in SMART Notebook and send them to students using SMART Response CE. Students answer the questions using SMART Notebook SE (Student Edition), and their answers are submitted to the teacher with SMART Response CE. The gradebook in SMART Response CE tracks all students’ answers, calculates grades and provides evaluation reports and summaries.

SMART Sync connects students to teachers, enabling teachers to interact with individual students, small groups or the entire class. It also allows teachers to randomly divide the class into small groups and provide assignments that students can work on and submit as a group. It works with any application that is running on the students’ computers and allows file sharing among students and teachers. SMART Sync runs continuously throughout a class, enabling teachers to monitor student activity and interact with an individual, a group or with the entire class anytime.

Can I buy the individual components of the suite?
Yes. Each of the components of SMART Classroom Suite – SMART Notebook, SMART Notebook SE, SMART Sync and SMART Response CE – can be purchased individually. Note that SMART Response CE software requires SMART Notebook SE to be installed on student computers.

What are the benefits of purchasing the entire software suite rather than the individual components?

  • The software suite offers better value. The price of the suite is about 40% lower than the combined cost of the individual components.
  • The products have a consistent user interface and are designed to work together
  • If you purchased each component separately, you’dll need to install them individually. With SMART Classroom Suite, there are only two installations – one for teachers and one for students. You can install the software on all student computers automatically using an .msi file.

Do I need a SMART Board interactive whiteboard to use the SMART Classroom Suite?
Although not required, a SMART Board interactive whiteboard is an ideal complement to SMART Classroom Suite and facilitates whole-class demonstration.

How does the SMART Classroom Suite connect my SMART Board interactive whiteboard with my computer-enabled classroom?
SMART Classroom Suite connects teachers with the SMART Board interactive whiteboard through a shared file format. SMART Notebook software and SMART Response CE are both used on the SMART Board interactive whiteboard and form key components of the SMART Classroom Suite.

Can SMART Classroom Suite be used in conjunction with other SMART products?
Yes. Complementary products include the SMART Board interactive whiteboard, SMART Audio, the SMART Document Camera and SMART Response hardware.
