You can create formative assessments using SMART Notebook, and administer the assessment remotely.

To create an assessment

Step 1 - Click in the SMART Notebook toolbar. The Response assessment Add Content dialog box opens.

Step 2 - Select the question type for the first question. You can choose multiple choice, true or false, multiple answer, poll/opinion or short answer. NOTE: The question type determines the answer format. For example, a multiple-choice quiz gives four potential answers from A through D, while a true or false quiz will give only True and False answers for students to select.

Step 3 - Enter a question and its answers. You can use up to 150 characters.

         NOTE: Each question requires at least two answers.

         TIP: To add an image, tap the Add Image icon.

Step 4 - Select the correct answer for the question you just added.

Step 5 - Use the Add Question button to continue adding questions. Above the Enter a question text box, you can change the question type for each question that you add. To go back and edit questions, use the Previous button.

Step 6 - When you’re done adding questions, click Next. The Review Content dialog box opens. Here you can add a quiz title and instructions.

         TIP: Click Save to save your question set so you can reuse it in other lessons or activities.

STEP 7 - Click Finish. The assessment loads and then appears on a new lesson page.

Step 3 - Students need to enter their name and press Join to connect to the assessment.

Step 6 - When all questions have been answered, students press Submit all Answers and then press it again to confirm their submission.
