Open SMART Notebook or Lumio by SMART lessons on the display

There are a few different ways you can quickly get your Notebook or Lumio lesson files open on a display. Expand the sections below for the lesson file type you want to open.

You have a few options for opening Notebook files on a SMART Board interactive display with iQ:

Connect a computer

Connect your Windows or Mac computer with SMART Notebook software installed on it to the display. Then select the computer's input on your display to view the computer's desktop. From there you can start SMART Notebook.

Instructions for connecting the computer to your interactive display are available on the support page for your model.

Use a USB drive

Save the Notebook file to a USB drive. Then connect the USB drive to the display and open the file.

Google Drive or OneDrive

Upload your Notebook lessons to your Google Drive or OneDrive cloud storage. On the display, connect to your cloud storage to access your uploaded lessons from the display.

File sync

Share your Notebook file to your SMART Account. Then on the display, sign in to your SMART Account. This begins the file synchronization between the display and your SMART Account.

Open the display's Files and tapExpand beside My Files. Select the Lumio location to view all the files shared with your SMART Account. Tap the lesson file to open it in the display’s Whiteboard app.

Important 

Your SMART Account email address must be provisioned in the SMART Admin Portal before you can share files from SMART Notebook or access saved files in Lumio. File synchronization isn’t available if you’ve used a product key to activate SMART Notebook software on your computer. See Activating your subscription.

You have a few options for opening Lumio files on a SMART Board interactive display with iQ:

Use the display's Browser app

Using the browser to deliver a Lumio lesson gives you the same features and experience as you would expect when opening the lesson from a computer’s browser.

Open the Browser app on the display and visit golumio.com to sign in.

Tip 

Disable the annotation layer for the Browser app in iQ settings to use the display's pen's to write directly in the lesson. Disabling the annotation layer also lets you use the display’s features such as tool differentiation and gestures while interacting with Lumio lessons.

Google Drive

Connect Lumio to your Google Drive account, then open your Google drive on the display to access the lesson file on the display.

File sync

On the display, sign in to your SMART Account. This begins the file synchronization between the display and your SMART Account (Lumio lesson library).

Open the display's Files and tapExpand beside My Files. Select the Lumio location to view all the files shared with your SMART Account. Tap the lesson file to open it in the display’s Whiteboard app.

Note 

Using this method to open files doesn’t give you access to Lumio’s activity dashboard. If you’d like to use this feature, open the lessons using the Browser app as described previously on this page.
