LiveText is an electronic data system that has been adopted by over 400 universities across the country. You will be required to use LiveText to submit assessments and other assignments to your instructors. LiveText offers other features including data storage, access to digital resources, tools for collaboration, and a platform for creating, storing, and providing access to your own personalized electronic teaching portfolio that can be shared with school districts and other potential employers.

In 2011 the College of Education opted to join the TPAC (Teacher Performance Assessment Consortium), which is a national student teacher assessment project. To participate in this project, student assessments must be submitted to scorers located across the country. LiveText provides a platform for the submission and scoring of these Teacher Performance Assessments.
