Why do I have to purchase LiveText?
LiveText is, at its root, an accountability management system. The Darden College of Education is requiring the use of LiveText for coursework that provides evidence of meeting standards for accreditation purposes. Accreditation of the University, the College, and specific programs is important as academic communities, employers and other constituents recognize it as evidence of quality. LiveText is purchased once while you are enrolled in your program and is available for your use while you are registered and enrolled at Old Dominion University and one year following graduation. It will be used in several of your courses, for student teaching or internships, and for portfolio development throughout the program. At the end of your program, you will be glad to have your past assessments in LiveText. It will make building and sharing your professional portfolio a snap!
