Ability to chose whether Shout it Out in SLSO is student paced or teacher driven
Currently, Shout it Out is teacher driven and all students are directed to the activity when the teacher launches it. If the Shout it Out had the option of "student paced" students would to be able to submit images as evidence of learning after completing other SMART activities without having to have the teacher continuously launch Shout it Out.
25 votesThank you for your feedback, Candace. That is a very interesting use case for Shout It Out. We do have plans to make other aspects of SMART Learning Suite Online student paced, and they may address your use case even if they are not directly related to Shout It Out.

Individual Student Handout Navigation
When going through individual student handouts it would be nice if I could open an individual handout for a single student and navigate down through the lesson and directly to each subsequent handout for that particular student until I had them all graded.

Add calming music to the timer as an option
I would like a feature where either there is a predetermined set of a few options of calming music to play while the timer runs OR a way to link music from YouTube, etc. to run while the timer runs :)

Having the ability to hide a slide during a presentation
There are times I need to temporarily hide/disable a slide, but I do not what to delete the slide.
22 votesThanks for your suggestion. Will a screen shade work to gradually reveal information on the slide?

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.

Allow Basic Default Settings in Whiteboard to be Adjusted and Customized Permanently
I'm a teacher in the School District of Philadelphia and I had a Smart Board installed in my classroom this year. I really want to use Lumio more but there are several features that I believe can be adjusted to make the lives of teachers a little easier. One of those features is to allow teachers' customized preferences to be set to default instead of constantly having to change them to suit our needs. For example, I highly dislike the thinnest pen setting, and I prefer the medium or larger tipped pen. But every time I open a new file…

Timers (not widgets) for Whiteboard/Lumio lessons
I would like to be able to embed a timer (or multiple timers) on a Whiteboard page, which I can then start independently (each timer). I like using multiple timers (widgets) to drive instruction, but I have to pull each timer widget onto the Whiteboard each time.

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.
19 votesThank you for your suggestion. We may be able to support this use case soon with some of the work that we are doing around asynchronous lesson access for students. Stay tuned.

Notifications and different groups
It`s one function I have missed in SMART amp and that I hope would be possible to include in SLSO; When ss are able to sign in, and if I give them something to work on at home, or at school, I really want to get a notification in SLSO when ss have done any changes in their workspaces. In SMART amp I had to go through all of the ws or go to Google disk to see who had been signed in.
Another thing that would be perfect is if we could hand out different ws to different groups…
18 votesHi Kristin. It’s great to hear from you. We will definitely take this into account when we design the new features in SLS Online.

I'd like to be able to set groups on a collaborative work space activity instead of moving students around once they're put by the program.
I'd like to be able to set groups on a collaborative work space activity based upon seating charts instead of random heterogeneous groups and moving afterwards. I like the heterogeneous groups for some activities but not all.
12 votesThanks for your feedback, Erin. We will consider this for our backlog. As a workaround for now, you can re-adjust the groups after the initial random set by dragging and dropping the student names. It is more cumbersome because you will likely have to do this every time.

Being able to embed videos from Discovery Ed Brain Pop or other websites
I would like to be able to embed other videos from other educational websites. When creating my smart notebook files.
12 votesThanks for the suggestion, Ryan. Would you need to be able to search for these videos, or is it ok to just copy and paste links into the lesson?

Create a code for students to access content at home to review for a test or to view content if absent from class, set start/stop date
If a student is absent, the student should be able to access content from missed class lesson. Teacher should be able to assign to student to complete. Teacher should be able to set a start and stop date - this could be pushed out to all students for a review.
12 votesThanks for your suggestion. We are planning on supporting students accessing lessons outside of class. We will consider the suggestion to add start and stop dates as well.

Remove limit on number of object that can be selected
Why is there a limit on the number of objects that can be selected while editing? This really limits my ability to create Lumio lessons. I was making a music worksheet and found that there was a limit of 50 objects that could be selected with Command - A.
11 votesunder review · AdminSMART Technologies Product Management (Product Manager, SMART Technologies) respondedThanks for your feedback. We put in a limit of 50 for performance considerations. We'll look to increase this limit to a more reasonable number to support your use cases.
Also, if you are multi-selecting many objects, you can shift click and drag to marquee select them quickly.

Have name generator hat icon available at all times in SLSO
I would like to see the name generator hat icon available to the left side of an SLSO notebook ready to use at anytime with one click of a button.
11 votesGood idea, Candace. We are working on adding interactive randomizers to lessons in SLS Online. A persistent randomizer for student names makes a lot of sense. Perhaps we can do that in the class panel to automatically pick the name of one of the connected students.

A delete or trash can on regular pages.
There is no way to get rid of objects on the regular lesson pages.
10 votesThanks for the feedback, Kate. We may be adding more editing functionality to the delivery experience to tweak the content. May I ask if the delete is for removing new objects created with infinite cloner?
If the page with the infinite cloner is meant as an activity, one way to deal with objects created is to explicitly convert the page to a Handout activity. Not only does this enable all students to interact with the activity, but it also allows you to reset the activity, thus removing objects created with infinite cloner.
