Kara – LIBERTY ISD (verified owner) –
The course did a great job explaining the T-TESS evaluation system, but the courses would shut down in the middle of me typing. I had a few times where it would log me out, as well. The last suggestion I have is to make it where you don’t have to continuously exit out of the window and refresh the page in order for it to update. That alone would cause the course to run smother on the technology side.
