Overview

Promethean ActivSuite is an educational app collection built to work with the ActivPanel 10 interactive display. It brings Whiteboard, Annotate, Timer, Spinner and Screen Share into one toolkit and can be integrated onto Windows, Mac or ChromeOS devices, so teachers can use the laptop they already have. Schools and training centres in Qatar that run ActivPanel 10 displays and want shared classroom tools can request a quote.

What ActivSuite does on an ActivPanel 10

Promethean ActivSuite is a collection of educational apps built to work with the ActivPanel 10 interactive display. Instead of one standalone tool, it groups the functions a teacher reaches for during a lesson: a Whiteboard for writing and drawing, Annotate for marking up material, a Timer for timed tasks, a Spinner for choosing a pupil or topic at random, and Screen Share for showing content from a connected device. Because these tools sit together, a lesson can move between them without the teacher opening separate programs.

Running it on Windows, Mac and ChromeOS

ActivSuite can be integrated onto any Windows, Mac or ChromeOS device. That matters in schools and offices where staff use a mix of machines, because the same toolkit does not depend on one operating system. Teachers who bring their own laptops can work with the tools that appear on the classroom display. Before rollout, check the device list with the SmartRooms Qatar team, particularly where school computers are managed centrally and installation rights are restricted.

Explain Everything accounts and plans

ActivSuite connects with Explain Everything. Teachers can create a free Explain Everything account, or subscribe to an Explain Everything plan to unlock more features. The free route suits a trial or a small group of early users. A subscription suits staff who need the wider feature set across a whole department. Decide which route each teacher needs before you request a quote, so the rollout plan and the quotation reflect the same choice.

Where it fits across Qatar

A private school in Al Wakrah fitting out new classrooms with ActivPanel 10 displays and wanting one toolkit for teachers who use different laptops.
A training centre in Education City running short courses, where facilitators use the Timer and Spinner for group exercises and Screen Share to show their own work.
A school with Arabic and English teaching staff that wants the same tools available in every lesson, whichever teacher or device is in use.

What to plan for before you request a quote

ActivSuite is software, not a display, so start by listing the ActivPanel 10 units it will support and the devices that will run it. Note the operating system of each device, whether your IT policy allows staff to install applications, and whether teachers will use a free account or a paid plan. SmartRooms Qatar offers free site surveys and professional installation for the displays, and can advise on how the software is set up alongside them. Quotations are usually issued within one working day, and the team accepts purchase orders (LPOs), government tenders including Monaqasat, and payment by bank transfer, cheque or purchase order.

If your school, training centre or office plans to use ActivSuite with ActivPanel 10 displays, request a quote from SmartRooms Qatar and include your classroom count and device types.

Questions about Promethean ActivSuite

What is Promethean ActivSuite?

Promethean ActivSuite is a collection of educational apps designed to work with the ActivPanel 10 interactive display. It brings together Whiteboard, Annotate, Timer, Spinner and Screen Share, and it can be integrated onto Windows, Mac or ChromeOS devices. It is software rather than a display, so it is quoted separately, and SmartRooms Qatar can confirm how it fits the hardware your school or office is planning to buy.

Which display is ActivSuite designed for?

ActivSuite is built around the ActivPanel 10, so that is the display it is designed for. If your site uses a different Promethean panel or another brand, ask the SmartRooms Qatar team to confirm compatibility before you request a quote. Naming the exact panel model in your request helps the team check this quickly and avoid ordering software that does not match your classrooms.

Which operating systems can run ActivSuite?

ActivSuite can be integrated onto any Windows, Mac or ChromeOS device, which covers most laptops and desktops used in Qatari schools and offices. Teachers do not need one standard machine across a whole building. Before rollout, confirm which operating system each classroom computer runs so the IT team can plan installation and check that staff accounts are allowed to add applications.

Do teachers need an Explain Everything account?

Teachers can create a free Explain Everything account to get started. Subscribing to an Explain Everything plan unlocks more features. In a school with a large teaching staff, decide early which level each teacher needs, and include that choice in your quotation request so the setup matches what the classrooms will actually use.

How could a primary teacher in Al Wakrah use the Timer and Spinner?

A primary teacher running reading groups in Al Wakrah can set the Timer for each rotation and use the Spinner to choose which pupil answers next, without switching to a separate timer app. Both tools sit in the same toolkit as the Whiteboard and Annotate, so the lesson stays on one screen. This suits classrooms where pupils work through short, timed stations.

What is the Screen Share Receiver app for?

The Screen Share Receiver app is the companion app for Screen Share, and the manufacturer points to it as the way to get the most from that feature. It is worth installing on the device that will receive shared content and testing it before the first lesson. Ask the SmartRooms Qatar team to confirm the right setup for your school network.

Can a facilitator bring their own laptop to a training room in Education City?

Yes, if the laptop runs Windows, Mac or ChromeOS, ActivSuite can be integrated onto it. A training centre in Education City running short courses can let visiting facilitators connect their own machines to the room display and use Screen Share and the Timer for group exercises. Confirm with the centre's IT team whether visitor devices are allowed to install applications.

Do we still need to buy the display if we choose ActivSuite?

Yes. ActivSuite is software that works with the ActivPanel 10, so it adds tools to a display rather than replacing one. If your classrooms do not yet have the panel, include the display in your request and ask for ActivSuite to be quoted with it. SmartRooms Qatar supplies interactive flat panels and can advise on fitting them.

How are licences handled for a school with 30 classrooms?

The source material does not set out licensing terms for multiple devices or classrooms, so SmartRooms Qatar should confirm how ActivSuite and any Explain Everything plan are licensed before you issue a purchase order. Give the team your classroom count, the number of teacher devices and the operating systems in use, so the quotation matches your full rollout rather than a single room.

Can a government school buy ActivSuite through a tender?

Yes. SmartRooms Qatar accepts purchase orders (LPOs) and supports government tenders, including Monaqasat. A public school or ministry department in Doha planning a classroom upgrade can request a quote listing the panel model, device types and number of classrooms, then submit it with the LPO or tender documents. Payment can be made by bank transfer, cheque or purchase order.

What should IT check before installing ActivSuite across a school?

Start with the operating system on each device, since ActivSuite supports Windows, Mac and ChromeOS. Check whether school policy lets teachers install applications, and confirm whether staff will use free Explain Everything accounts or a paid plan. A short list of these answers helps SmartRooms Qatar prepare a quotation that matches what your IT team can deploy.

How do I request a quote for ActivSuite?

Send the team your ActivPanel 10 quantity, the operating systems your teachers use, and whether you want the free Explain Everything account or a paid plan. SmartRooms Qatar usually issues quotations within one working day. Site surveys are free, and the team can advise on setting up the software alongside professional installation of the displays.
