Apple ID as an Additional SSO Provider for Lumio™ by SMART
Dear SMART,
Adding Apple ID as a Single Sign-On option would be a strategic upgrade for Lumio™ by SMART. In the DACH region’s education market, Apple devices are widely used by teachers and students, so native login would ease access and fit existing setups.
Several competitors like Promethean, ViewSonic, Prowise, and Clevertouch already support multiple identity providers. Offering Apple ID would improve Lumio’s standing, lower hurdles for Apple-focused districts, and improve the experience for current users.
For users, Apple SSO delivers a quick, secure, and familiar sign-in without extra credentials. This may boost adoption, and promote wider use of Lumio™…

Student screen match teacher screen on Shout-It-Out
I do not like how the student screen is so different from the teacher's on Shout-It-Out, especially when using categories. It would be great if the students could simply see the same layout as the teacher's. They could just click in the category to answer and then the activity would then take them to the submit page. Once they submit, it returns to the main page and they select the next category. My students get so confused when they see a different layout on the board versus their screens.

Save an edited session back to My Library as a new file
Currently, when teachers edit a Session, those edits only apply to the Session itself and are not reflected in the original file in My Library. Teachers have asked for a way to preserve the edits they make during or after delivery without carrying over the student work.
This idea proposes adding the ability to save an edited Session back to My Library as a new file.
This would:
- Preserve all teacher edits made to the Session.
- Exclude student work so the file is clean for reuse.
- Allow teachers to keep an updated version of their lesson/assignment without needing to manually…

The ability to share a session in your Class Sessions tab with another teacher
To be able to share a session in your Class Sessions tab (after it has been completed) with another teacher. This would be useful to be able to share the data/ comments collected on a session with my year group partner so we can compare/ collate how students are doing across the year group. Also, helpful if one of us has completed the lesson before the other, to have an idea of possible misconceptions or issues before they teach.

Please make possible to check on students work without having to display lesson
It would be great if I could review my student's answers without having to start lesson. It is a problem that students could see what I'm doing while reviewing my students' answers even when we are no longer in class.

Thanks for the feedback. We are working on allowing teachers to review student work in a lesson without also implicitly delivering the lesson live and making it visible to all connected students.

Desmos activities
I love that a few of the activities that I have already been using in Desmos have been converted into Lumio, but there are so many more great ones. I would love to have instructions on how to add them myself or place to request specific ones.

Template slides not rendering in thumbnail previews
When using the new SMART templates in Lumio, they don't seem to be rendering correctly, or consistently. This problem, likely a bug, makes it difficult to navigate the thumbnails. Currently, the slides are after only showing the template content rather than the content that I am adding to the template slide.

Hi Steve. Thanks for reporting the issue. We are working on addressing this. Currently, it takes a bit of time for the thumbnails to update, so you may find that if you go back to the lesson after a few hours, it does update to show your changes. However, our planned improvements will make the thumbnails much quicker to update.

Smart Learning Suite Online Activities
The Smart Learning Suite Online virtual whiteboard activities would be a great resource for my online math lessons, but right now there is no pen feature available for creating the activities (only text) and there is no equation editor. If both of these things were available for creating the activity I would probably use it in my math classes regularly.

Co-Teacher/Multiple Teachers
We desperately need the option to add another teacher to a class. I teach with another teacher, with the younger grades, and it's difficult for them to have to log out of one class, to log into another class. Try explaining that to a 5 year old remotely... Also when we (Teachers) have a different class code, any slides we make we have to remember to share the link with the other teacher, but then if one of us updates the slide, the change will not reflect in the other teachers account. We need to be able to collaborate. We…

Possobility to add few classes to Smart lab
I teach seven different groups (session in each is 45 minutes). It would be really helpful if I could add few classes with different IDs.

How can we make this collaborative between classrooms, schools and the world?
I want to work with classes around the world!
2 votesHi Lissa. Thanks for the suggestion. That sounds like a really cool use case. Collaborating asynchronously with global classrooms will get much easier once we add the ability for students to sign in to access lessons at any time and to add students to groups once the collaboration has already started.

Need to be able to create new files and have feature parity w/ traditional SMART Notebook
My district currently utilizes the free Limited Mode version of SMART Notebook. We are interested in Smart Learning Suite Online, but before we can buy, I need SLSO to allow users to create NEW notebook file. We are a G Suite for Education district and are in a transition to Chromebooks. Our teachers have Windows computers currently, but we cannot adopt any solution that precludes the use of a Chromebook as an option for a planned purchase of new faculty laptops in June 2021. We are looking to establish a recommended and supported standard for our teacher's instructional and interactive…
14 votesThank you for taking the time to send us such thorough feedback. We do plan on expanding on our lesson creation feature set in 2019. However, since Notebook is a large and complex application, we would really appreciate feedback on the prioritization of different creation features. If you don’t mind, please reply to this message, and we can reach out to you directly about the details.

Lined/Grid Paper Backgrounds NEED to be Available on SLSO
It would be really great if lined paper and grid paper backgrounds would show up when the notebook file is shared with the SMART boards.

Be able to start a new file using a blank slide instead of having to start with a game, assessment or a preexisting file.
I'd like to be able to create an entire file directly from the online suite.
5 votesThanks for the feedback, Kelly. We haven’t enable this yet because we don’t have all the tools to add content to a blank page. What are the basic set of tools you will need to create a compelling lesson on top of being able to add activities and assessments?

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.

I teach Secondary. The current themes and sounds offered are tremendously youthful.

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.
