Re: Alternative to Dyknow

Hi Dave. We use Synchroneyes (www.smarttech.com), and we are happy with it.
The test-maker is wonderful and several teachers use it to give tests on the
computer--they love that it grades the tests automatically. That's just a
bonus to the regular screen monitoring it usually does. But I have to be
honest, we don't use it with tablets. Don't know if that's different.
