Gain insight into your classroom technology use
SMART Vantage™ technology-management software is a subscription-based software application that provides a detailed summary of each of your SMART Board interactive whiteboards and projectors and enables data collection regarding usage, projector lamp life and energy consumption.
Get a clear view of the big picture
With SMART Vantage software, you simply log in to the web-based interface to view data related to all the interactive whiteboard systems connected to your network – including those with projectors from other vendors. You can see their locations, whether they're currently in use, how many touches per hour they register, how much time remains before projector lamps need replacement, which software applications are being used most, and more.
SMART Vantage automatically finds your interactive whiteboard systems and creates profiles for them. You can easily create groups to sort and compare data, generate reports and set schedules for powering off and on your interactive whiteboard systems.
Make the most of your implementation
SMART Vantage software helps you manage your implementation to maximize effectiveness in the classroom, reduce maintenance and support costs for your interactive whiteboard systems and evaluate your return on investment.
You can use data collected by SMART Vantage to
- Reduce classroom downtime, extend asset life and reduce support costs by monitoring projector lamp life
- Make informed decisions about resource and technology allocation
- Plan and implement professional development initiatives that help teachers continue to improve students' learning outcomes
- Reduce operating costs by scheduling run time
- Highlight achievement gaps across schools or groups and initiate informed action plans
