Educating Future Teachers Effectively
The goal of Learning Liaisons was to educate the next generation of teachers helping them pass their mandatory certification exams. To do that, he needed to provide students with smooth and interactive learning experiences that were also easy and quick to create. Jason was looking for a platform with a user-friendly interface and intuitive design that would get positive feedback from students and give him the free time and flexibility to do more.
Solving Major Usability Issues
Jason knew that more than growing his online business using a WordPress site would be needed to support a professional online school. Initially, he used a WordPress-based website and an integrated WPLMS application, but a few years later, he realized the functionality needed to be expanded and the WP site needed to be faster. That was when he started encountering lots of tech and useability issues and decided to look for a better solution to avoid them.
