I teach 4 classes a day with the same lesson. I would like the option of not saving changes made during presentation mode.
Since I teach four classes the same math lesson. I have to have 4 copies of the same lesson since it automatically saves any changes that I make during the lesson. I would like the option to save or not save the file when going back to the homepage.
21 votesHi Vickie. Thank you for your feedback. Do you use any activities such as Shout It Out in the lessons that you teach? One of the side effects of not saving lesson changes and reusing the same lesson is that any student data/work will be lost.
Also, what kind of changes do you not want to save? If it’s a page designed as an activity where you move objects, one workaround is to convert the page to a “Handout” activity, which gives you the ability to “play” the activity and easily reset it back to the original state. Would that help with your workflow?
This is certainly something we will consider, but I wanted to make sure we explored some alternatives.

More than just assessments and activities...???
I used Smartamp as a board for my agenda for each class, then linked activities, videos, and google docs to that board each day. It was great to have one screen with easy access to all the documents I needed. Does Learning Suite have more than just activities and assessments or is it simply just designed for student collaboration?
6 votesHi Jamie. Thanks for letting us know about your use case. We will be adding additional media types to a SMART Learning Suite lesson as well as to Workspace activities. Soon you will be able to insert links to different websites and videos in a Workspace activity, and we are planning to add the ability to compose your lessons with other media like Youtube videos and web links.

Running 2 activities at the same time
I would like for students while in centers to be able to work on 2 different activities at the same time. Such as one group on monster quiz and one a document that I created.

2 votesThank you for the suggestion. We are planning on adding more static media that teachers can insert into a lesson such as title pages and Youtube videos. Is there a specific type of non-activity content that would like us to support?

Be able to move lab boxes over so we can see content underneath
When developing a assessment on a previously developed Smart lesson, the assess ment box comes up right on top of the information that is already there. In my case the math problems the students were supposed to complete. Unfortunately, the math problems were under the box used to develop the assessment. I need to be able to move the box over and out of the way so I can see what it is I'm making the assessment on

Allow monster quiz to insert answer choices that are images
Monster quiz multiple choice only allows answer choices that are text based. This feature would be improved by allowing an image to be inserted for different answer choices. For example, a question could be given an equation, and each answer choice would show a different graph image.
90 votesGood suggestion. We will consider it for our backlog.

Please offer more TEEN-friendly graphics and music.
I teach Secondary. The current themes and sounds offered are tremendously youthful.
16 votesThanks for the suggestion, Miss Donni. We are planning to address the need for more appropriate themes for older students by enabling teachers to customize themes to match the subject matter of the activity. Would this help with teen student engagement?

Allow Pre-set teams
I'd like to be able to establish separate classes, and within those classes have a class list and pre-made teams. My students work in teams for the quarter and it is tedious to add them to the same teach each time we do an activity.
22 votesHi Tracy. Thank you for your suggestion. We will be adding support for multiple classes this fall, and we will also consider your suggestion of having persistent teams for our backlog.

Multiple page hand out and not be able to go to previous pages
I would like to be able to assign a multiple page reading assignment. I would like to include a worksheet or quiz over the reading on the last page. However, I do not want the students to be able to go back to the reading because I want to see what they can recall. Once they get to the last page, can we freeze it on that page?
3 votesThanks for your suggestion. This is an interesting use case. Does having an option to turn on “teacher paced” delivery, where students are locked to the page the teacher is on help with the issue?
