During recent research of 348 SynchronEyes (previous name for
SMART Sync) software customers, SMART discovered that teachers
in computer-enabled classrooms using the software save an
average of 14 minutes per 50-minute class, or 28% of total class
time. Which if you do the maths means you get back up to 7
hours of teaching time per class, per term.
