Create opportunities for student collaboration

SMART Sync helps you inspire collaboration. You can use the software to randomly organize students into small groups. After students have worked individually on an assignment, they can team up to arrive at a consensus by collaborating face-to-face or sharing screens from opposite corners of the room and using a chat session. Once finished, the group can submit the assignment to you digitally.

Provide individual support for students

With SMART Sync, students can send you private questions, and you can respond without disturbing the class. You can also take control of a student’s computer to provide remote help with a task or problem.

 

SMART Sync on a desktop and laptop computerConnect to your students and your network

Use SMART Sync in your wireless computer environments. This software enables you to quickly connect and stay connected to your school network, so you can focus on guiding and supporting your students' learning, instead of dealing with connectivity issues.

Broadcast

Broadcast screens for better understanding

Make every computer in class the best seat in the house. Broadcast your desktop or share a student’s desktop with everyone in the room. SMART Sync lets you demonstrate a concept, view a web page or play a video that all students can see on their computer screens.

Broadcast screens
Demonstrate a concept or example by projecting your desktop or a student’s to everyone in the classroom. Broadcast in Full Screen mode or set your broadcast to Window mode so students can switch between the broadcast and other applications.
Create group chat sessions

Organize students into groups and create a controlled chat environment for students to discuss a given topic.

Enable student collaboration

Randomly organize students into small groups so they can work together on an assignment from their own computers.

Respond to students individually

Encourage students to use the software to send you questions so you can give them immediate assistance. SMART Sync allows you to chat with individual students or the whole class. You can also avoid distracting students with messages that don't apply to them by restricting your comments to certain groups.

Survey students on the fly

Send a yes or no question to the class or a group and ask them to vote on it. SMART Sync automatically tallies the responses and displays the results at the bottom of the window.

Work with applications

Save class time by instantly accessing and broadcasting applications and files to the whole class. You can broadcast video files, launch an application for every student at once, send and receive files and access websites.

Go wireless

Save class time by instantly accessing and broadcasting applications and files to the whole class. You can broadcast video files, launch an application for every student at once, send and receive files and access websites.

Manage computers

In a computer lab setting you can remotely shut down, log off or restart the computers of your entire class, a group or a selected student.

Integrate other SMART products

Combine SMART Sync with other SMART products for greater interactivity. For example, when you use SMART Sync with a SMART Board interactive whiteboard, you can write notes on the interactive whiteboard and students will see them on their own desktops.

Keep your network secure

SMART Sync includes comprehensive security features such as instructor authentication and 256-bit encryption. The software also lets you set passwords to protect the connections between instructors and students.

Language support

SMART Sync supports more than 20 languages, including Spanish, Chinese, German, French, Italian, Dutch, Greek, Turkish, Russian and Portuguese.
