Implementation & Training
Learning Sciences International offers comprehensive configuration and setup services that are seamlessly completed for schools and districts behind-the-scenes to prepare for immediate use of the iObservation™ system. Users will literally be able to logon and begin their activities with pre-configured data. We also offer ongoing training and support to ensure sustainability and success throughout all phases of implementation.
We offer several pricing options to appropriately serve the needs of both districts and schools.
