The E. Desmond Lee Technology and Learning Center (TLC) has been supporting Livetext Training Sessions for students, faculty and staff since Fall 2004 up to the present time. LiveText is being used to create, develop and assess students’ learning in the form of professional portfolios. Livetext as a tool allows to measure and assess students’ continuous improvement in education. A successful timely Livetext portfolio submission is a graduation requirement.

Olena Zhadko, GRA of the COE's Technology and Learning Center, has been teaching Livetext since 2005, introducing hundreds of preservice teachers, faculty and staff to the technology.
