The teacher can view, save as favorites and share with his colleagues, and with his students, all the teaching materials contained within the app. The teacher can also take advantage of a series of quizzes created ad hoc by a team of experts, within the ten words, and can also create their own multiple choice quizzes. After creating and saving the quiz, the teacher can immediately share it with their students. With the app, the teacher will also be able to enroll the class in the training days and events organized within the project and will be able to stay up to date on past events through detailed reports and photo galleries. In addition, through the QR Code reader, the teacher can access additional extra content.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" [vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none”…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-11085","page","type-page","status-publish"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nPartnership<\/h2>\n
