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. You can then use SMART Response tools to generate, export and
print assessment and student reports.
When you create an answer key you create a SMART Notebook file containing a series of SMART
Response question pages showing possible answers to your assessment questions but without
question content. When you start your assessment, students can use SMART Response devices to
answer the questions at their own pace.
