You can then check the receiver's status in Teacher Tools. I I M P OR T A N T You must activate your SMART Response software within 30 days of installation. SMART Response software automatically activates when you connect your SMART Response receiver. If the activation is not successful, use the manual procedure in this section to find your license code and activate the software. N N OT E If you're using SMARTResponse software in CE or VE mode, which doesn't require a receiver, see Activating SMART Response CE software on page 16 for instructions. Connecting the receiver I I M P OR T A N T l Do not connect the receiver to your computer until after you install SMART Response software. l For operating safety and to prevent damage to the receiver, connect its USB connector only to a computer that has a USB compliant interface and that bears the USB logo. In addition, the USB source computer must be compliant with CSA/UL/EN 60950 and bear the CE mark and CSA and/or UL mark(s) for CSA/UL 60950. l The receiver has a USB 2.0 full-speed peripheral interface that runs at speeds of up to 12 Mbps. The unit works with USB 2.0- and USB 1.1-compliant USB interfaces. Recommended height for mounting the receiver Unlike infrared devices, SMART Response receivers dont require an unobstructed line-of-sight transmission path, such as that required by infrared devices. You can operate SMART Response over longer distances if you minimize interference, signal reflections and the number and size of objects between the receiver and the clickers. 11 C H A P T E R 2 Getting started Choose a location for the receiver thats as high as possible and in plain view of the students clickers. For permanent installations, use a USB extender to mount the receiver high on a wall. To minimize interference from other radio-frequency equipment, position the receiver away from other wireless products, such as 2.4 GHz routers and cordless telephones. W W A R N I N G To prevent product damage or personal injury, route the USB cable where it will not be stepped on or tripped over. g To connect the receiver 1. Position the receiver in an unobstructed location away from other wireless products, such as 2.4 GHz routers and cordless telephones. o For temporary installations, place the receiver on top of your desk. o For permanent installations, mount the receiver on a wall or on the front of a piece of furniture using two screws (not provided). Orient the receiver with the long side or edge facing the class as shown. 12 C H A P T E R 2 Getting started 2. Insert the receiver's captive USB cable connector into an available USB receptacle on your computer. The Ready light on the receiver turns on to indicate that the receiver is receiving power. On Windows computers, the first time you connect the receiver, a balloon message appears from the notification area indicating that new hardware has been detected. I I M P OR T A N T If the balloon message indicates that Windows is starting to try to locate a driver from the Microsoft website, stop the search. If Windows does not find the driver on your computer, you did not install SMART Response software. Install the software and repeat the above procedure. 3. See Checking the receivers status on the next page to verify that the receiver is working properly. Extending the USB cable If the provided 6' (1.8 m) USB cable attached to the receiver isnt long enough, use active USB extender cables, USB extenders or hubs. This graphic shows the SMART active USB extension cable (Part No. USB-XT). In some cases, you can use up to four cables to extend the length to about 80' (25 m), which is the limit of the USB specification. Passive USB extension cables arent supported. Alternatively, USB extenders that use Cat 5 cabling can extend the range to approximately 325' (100 m) at a much higher cost. The more economical SMART USB extender pair (Part No. CAT5-XT) can extend the USB connection up to 120'
(36.6 m) for Windows computers or 90' (27.5 m) for Mac computers using an RJ45 Cat 5 cable. These units require that you use the provided 6' (1.8 m) cables or use cables and connectors that meet the same specifications. Impedance mismatches and poor connections can cause signal degradation and performance problems. N N OT E Some computers use internal active hubs to provide more USB receptacles. The computers operating system could interpret these internal hubs as external devices, limiting the number of USB extenders you can use. 13 C H A P T E R 2 Getting started Checking the receivers status If you connected the receiver, you're ready to start a class session.

After a short delay, the names and IDs from your CSV file appear in the Students page. You can now edit each student's properties, as required. CSV file formatting Tips for formatting CSV files for importing class lists The following is the general format you should use for CSV files:
The order of the columns isn't important, but the first row must contain the column headings identifying what's in each column. l You must have a column with the heading ID Number. o You must put a single space between ID and Number. o In place of ID Number, you can use ID, Student ID or Number. o If you don't use a correct column name for the ID Number, the software is unable to import the list. 33 C H A P T E R 2 Getting started l Specify student first and last names in separate columns. o For the student's given name, use First Name for the column heading. o For the student's family name, use Last Name as the column heading. o You must put a single space between First (or Last) and Name. o In place of First Name, you can use Given Name. o In place of Last Name you can use Last, Family Name or Surname. l You can also use the heading Full Name to import a single value that combines the first and last names. o You must put a single space between Full and Name. o In place of Full Name, you can use Full or Name. o If you use Full Name, the software checks to see whether the first and last names are separated by a comma (Last, First). If there isn't a comma, it separates the names with a space (First Last). o If you put three or more names with spaces between them, the software uses the last word as the last name and joins all of the first words to form the first name. For example,
"Michael John Smith" is split with the last name as Smith, and the first name as Michael John. N N OT E If your spreadsheet or database software automatically inserts quotation marks around the comma separated values, the software ignores them and the import works properly. Using SMARTSync Class List Server class lists When you use SMART Response software in CE mode, you can use class list information from a SMARTSync Class List Server instead of using a class list you created using Teacher Tools. Teachers using SMART Sync can create class list information and store it on their SMARTSync Class List Server. When you start SMART Response Teacher Tools, you can then select which teacher's class information to use for your class. Alternatively, teachers using SMARTSync software can start a SMART Response class using their class information. 34 C H A P T E R 2 Getting started Editing a class list After you create a class list, you can use Teacher Tools to edit it. N N OT E S l You're unable to edit a class list or remove students from it if a class is running.

Tagging students You can use tags to identify groups or categories of students. SMART Response software uses the tags to sort student results when you generate class performance reports. For example, if you assign the tags Senior and Junior to the students, SMART Response software adds a chart to the report, with one bar for each of the two tags. You can assign multiple tags to a student by separating the tags with a semicolon (;), for example Senior;Honors and Junior;Honors. In this case, SMART Response software adds a chart to the report, with three bars (one each for Senior, Junior and Honors). You can also create tag subcategories by separating the tags with a colon (:). An example would be Gender:Male and Gender:Female. In this case, SMART Response software generates a single report section for Gender showing data grouped in Male and Female subcategories. Changing a class's passing grade When you create a class list, you define the passing grade for the class. You can change that grade later if you want. g To change a class's passing grade 1.

SMARTResponse XE software's intelligent expression grading feature compares the student responses to the correct expression answer to determine whether it is equivalent based on the Intelligent Grading settings you define. See About intelligent expression grading below for more information. About intelligent expression grading When you create an expression question and correct answer, intelligent expression grading accepts multiple representations of that answer expression as correct. A students answer is always graded correct if it:
l matches the question's correct answer exactly l has a different representation, but is mathematically equivalent and uses the same terms and operators in the same order as the question's correct answer You can use intelligent grading options to decide which other mathematically equivalent answers to accept as correct. The following graphic shows the three levels of equivalency that you can define for your questions. 48 C H A P T E R 3 Using SMARTResponse software The following table shows examples of how SMARTResponse software's intelligent expression grading compares expression answers to the question's correct expression answer. 49 C H A P T E R 3 Using SMARTResponse software The following table shows examples of how student answers would be graded depending on which equivalency option you chose. 50 C H A P T E R 3 Using SMARTResponse software Creating answer keys If you already have a quiz or assessment in another format, such as in a hardcopy format, or in a multimedia file, you can create an answer key for that assessment to record the assessment's progress and student's grades.

Your computer doesnt recognize SMART Response software, and the receivers Status LED light remains solid red. The receiver's Status LED flashes red when SMARTResponse software is in CE or VE mode. Responses from students dont appear in SMART Notebook reports. Additional SMART Response receivers dont connect to the network when you install more than one receiver on your computer. Action/remedy In your exported results, change the exported dates to fractions, add a space before each fraction and convert the month to its numerical value. The converted month is the fractions numerator, and the day is the denominator. Remove the SMART Response hardware drivers on your computer, and then reconnect the receiver following the instructions in The SMARTResponse System Receiver Doesn't Work (smarttech.com/kb/115401). This is normal. When SMARTResponse software is in a mode that doesn't require a receiver, the software doesn't start the hardware drivers. Wait at least 10 seconds after the last student responds before you stop a question set. Disconnect the additional receivers USB plug to resume normal operation. Disconnect and reconnect the first receivers USB plug if it doesnt work, or if the Status light turns red. N N OT E Installing more than one receiver affects your computers performance and doesnt increase your reception. 109 Appendix A Hardware environmental compliance SMART Technologies supports global efforts to ensure that electronic equipment is manufactured, sold and disposed of in a safe and environmentally friendly manner.
