“When the pandemic happened, we had to transition to that remote, work from home environment pretty quickly. The next day I was doing student assessments from my mum’s kitchen table, like I was still in the office. The transition was seamless and there’s been no disruption to the student experience.”
‘‘It’s intuitive, easy to use, and has been invaluable in the last few months when all of a sudden, the whole process has had to be online.’’
