What is LiveText?
LiveText is an Internet-based subscription website that allows students and professors to create, share, and collaborate on their work. Students can upload their work, align it to current standards, and share it with other students, appropriate instructors, and potential employers of their choosing. The initial component of this website being implemented at NLU is the “Electronic Portfolio”. This portfolio tool is the main focus of many programs at National College of Education and is a requirement for certification and graduation. In the past, paper-based 3-ring binders have been the traditional form of portfolio. It was a culminating project done towards the end of the student’s program. Today, we can closely monitor that the portfolio is being gradually added to in an effort to make sure that students are aware of the specific standards and pedagogy of the program. NCE is convinced that this form of student assessment is in keeping with its historic Mission.
