Introduction
Acuity Un
Wired
™ for SMART Response interactive response system is a classroom assessment tool that connects three SMART Response systems with the Acuity® InFormative Assessment™
Solution. Acuity gives teachers access to a wide variety of predictive and diagnostic assessment options. Teachers can also customize assessments using the built-in item banks and authoring tools.
Teachers access the Acuity website to choose and then assign assessments to a class list of students. Teachers can then use Acuity UnWired to download and administer the assigned Acuity assessments to their class. Students are able to use SMART Response PE or XE clickers to answer assessment questions. The Senteo™ interactive response system is no longer available for purchase but is supported and integrated with Acuity UnWired for SMART Response.
As an assessment progresses, Acuity Un
Wired
for SMART Response displays how each student answers a question and how many questions a student has attempted. Information on how each student performed during the assessment is given once the assessment is stopped. Student performance data from the completed assessment is then uploaded to Acuity for processing.
Teachers have access to standards-aligned reports that are generated within minutes of assessment results being submitted to Acuity. Information contained in the reports enables teachers to quickly modify classroom instruction in response to student performance during an assessment.
An Acuity server based in your local district is used to administer assessments, providing a faster more reliable transfer of student results to Acuity for processing. Teachers can also use the Acuity
Un
Wired
user interface to monitor the upload status of submitted results.
