Italics support for referencing
it would really help if the Smartnote book software eg in the gapfill quiz, could support the italic typeface.
When I am teaching Harvard referencing, the book title is always written in italics, as in this example
Dacre, K. and Fryer, P., 2008. Stanislavski on stage. Sidcup: Stanislavski Centre.
The italics on the title is important so I would like to provide the options that the gapfill can be filled with the title of the book, one in plain text, one in italics. At present this is not something which Moodle Quizzes support correctly so having a platform that can…

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.

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.
20 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.

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.

Give the smarttech web version the same capabilities as the PC/Mac versions
It would be great if the web-based experience is the same as the software download for Mac/PC. I don't want to have to switch between devices to use the tools that I use most frequently for teaching Math; Full Screen, primarily Writing/Erasing, no pencil icon moving with my writing, Erase capabilities should be the same also, I want to build AND edit on the same device.

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.

Allow for "air boxes" so teachers can send info to students.
I don't want students to have another "email", rather, an "airbox" so that teachers can send students info, individual assignments (perhaps missed by absence), etc. as needed. It is a "touch it once" type of organization for the teacher.

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?

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?
