17.1.1020.0

• No character limit when creating SMART response 2 questions. Use this feature to include paragraph analysis in your assessments, but keep in mind that questions under 150 characters are still a best practice.

• Side panel in response 2, Shout It Out, and Monster Quiz is now dark grey.

• Group editing simplified. Groups can be created, renamed, deleted, and moved directly in the Page Sorter window.

• Ukrainian added to list of supported languages.

• Fixed problem where Page Sorter thumbnail text appeared distorted in 4K resolution.

• Fixed issue with SMART Notebook software closing unexpectedly on 2007 iMacs and Macbook Pros.

• Mixed Reality is not supported in Windows 8.1.

• Dual Inking mode not available when using an SBD interactive whiteboard. To solve this, disconnect and reconnect the whiteboard to get SMART Notebook software to recognize that it is connected to a board that supports dual inking.

• Timer in the SMART lab Monster Quiz activity lets you adjust the number of seconds allowed for answering each quiz question. The new Time Limit button appears in the Review Content dialog after you have added all the quiz questions.

• SMART response 2 file conversion now allows you to choose between question groupings:

• Convert all Response assessment pages into one new response 2 assessment.
• Convert each SMART Response assessment question into a separate, new, single-question response 2 activity inserted on a new page in front of the previous question. You will see two pages for every SMART Response page in the original SMART Response file.

• Greater flexibility when using SMART response 2 as a formative assessment tool:

  • In scenarios where teachers prefer to review the questions prior to students responding to the questions, there is now a Show Questions toggle which displays the questions rather than the default class progress bar.
  • Teachers can mark up questions with Ink to highlight parts of a question while reviewing it with the class.
  • Teachers can get real-time results of class responses even before an assessment has ended.

• The new Share to Board feature allows you to share Notebook files and other types of files from Notebook to your SMART Board interactive display with iQ technology. If the files you want to share are large, you can also share them by link to a SMART Board interactive displays with iQ technology.

• While editing a Monsters or Game show activity, Notebook may crash if Notebook memory usage reaches 1.2GB.

• Adobe Flash based activities and objects from earlier versions of SMART Notebook software fail to play. Because Adobe is discontinuing Flash Player, Flash based files are no longer supported. See Adobe Flash Player issues for troubleshooting tips.

• If a SMART lab activity file was edited and then saved with a different file name, it will not load if it is opened after the original file has been opened. The error message ???Waiting for activity data??? will be created. If this behavior occurs, close the original Notebook file and reopen the new Notebook file.

• When replaying the Tutorial video, the loading video will begin to flicker and will not play. To stop this behavior, dismiss the video.
