LiveText


LiveText Home Page


May I begin my review of LiveText by saying that it is not my favorite website.  I think that my prejudice against the site stems from the fact that I was introduced to Moodle before LiveText and I find a great deal of functional redundancy when using both websites.  It also seems to me that the Moodle website is more capable with a greater scope of functionality.

Having said this, I find navigation in the LiveText website to be easier that in Moodle.  I have run into page display problems on Moodle and have yet to encounter a similar problem while using LiveText.  The LiveText Graphical User Interface is appealing and well laid out.  It seems to scale well between screens of different resolutions.

The individual screens in LiveText are well laid out and uncluttered.  The navigation hierarchy is not complex, allowing for navigation through the pages without concern for becoming lost or disoriented.

In terms of functionality, I am not prepared to provide an opinion because I have not had sufficient experience with LiveText.  My first exposure to LiveText came at the end of last semester when I was required to use the website to publish key artifacts for each class.  It was not difficult to do so, but the experience provided me with little insight into overall capabilities of the website.  My sense is that the website is more of a LMS than it is a student centric collaborative tool.

    Lee,

    LiveText is the assessment tool used by SOE for accreditation purposes. Aside from creating your ED638 LiveText Portfolio, you will be required to upload the main Geo-Narrative artifact there. I wish you the best as you further navigate it and complete the respective requirements.

    Best regards,
    Dr. Rivera
