Teacher Assist Module
Links to the teacher assist module (TAM) are available on the left side menu bar on the Technology Page. There are two different versions.
The Traditional version uses Jiniator Plug-ins and has some limitations. It is Windows 98/XP compatible.
The New version is purely web based (like your OWA e-mail) and reuqires no plug-ins or certificates to run. It works with the operating system Vista. However, it is highly recommeded that you use Mozilla FireFox as the browser (rather than Internet Explorer). It also has some limitations at this time (i.e. progress reports not available, print formatting not the best, etc..).
Note: You can switch back and forth between the two versions interchangebly using the same login.
