About LiveText
LiveText began with two entrepreneurs and two computer programmers hoping to make a difference in education within the United States. Their innovative approach to Web-based electronic portfolios filled a niche in the higher education teacher preparation industry by providing a comprehensive solution to the electronic portfolio need as well as to national accreditation requirements. Now with over a decade of experience, LiveText serves education professionals nationwide.
Why LiveText?
LiveText is a program of Web-based tools which facilitates sharing and collaboration on educational curriculum and assignments between students and faculty. In addition, the system allows colleges and universities to assess program performance and student success. LiveText facilitates data collection and analysis, which is key to maintaining BYU’s national teacher education accreditation.
