The witness goes to a particular school, brings a number of teachers together and explains the product and how the system works. Is the software registered to the school or to the teacher? I understand the teacher has the portfolio set up online and then signs up the students to their own individual portfolios. Is their an issue with maintenance and technical support? I presume it is not a case of going into the schools and selling the software to the teachers or the schools as ongoing support must be available to those teachers. In the event of an issue with the software whom they can contact? After the school decides to sign up to the software and receives it what is the connection with the company?
