Application to be a Beta Tester for SqoolTools.com

SqoolTools is a virtual learning environment, built on Moodle open source software, that allows K-12 teachers to create courses to either support classroom instruction or to deliver instruction completely online. SqoolTools is currently in Beta Phase. We are testing the best ways to deliver and service SqoolTools accounts. In addition, during the Beta phase we will be integrating instructional resources and other features that improve the functionality of the base software.

By completing the following application you are applying to serve as a beta tester. Your responsibilities as a beta tester are to use the software for instructional purposes and report any issues or problems that you experience. You may be asked to periodically provide your opinion by completing an online survey.

Please note that prior knowledge of Moodle or other virtual learning environments is not a requirement. Training materials and support will be provided to you as you learn to use the teacher-friendly tools available to you on SqoolTools.com.

In exchange for your participation as a beta tester, you will be provided with a SqoolTools account free of charge during the beta phase and for a period of one year following the close of the beta phase.

There are a limited number of beta testers needed. We will be making our selections within the next week. You will be notified by email if you are selected as a beta tester.

If you have questions, please explore the information on SqoolTools.com or send an email to admin@sqooltechs.com

Thanks for your interest.
