Tracking student behavior is a huge trend in EdTech right now! Schools have long noticed that tracking behaviors that affect academics, harm self or others, as well as steps taken to prevent or challenge these have a tremendous effect. Many teachers report that printed checklists or digital tools that allow to track specific behaviors or traits can improve academics not only of the student these metrics are being tracked of, but the whole class. This is true not only for online classes, but distance asynchronous learning too, as long backed by peer-reviewed studies. (Morris, Libby & Finnegan, Catherine & Wu, Sz-Shyan, 2005)

I remember the first time I needed to build a website. As someone with zero technical experience, I felt completely overwhelmed. The idea of coding seemed like a foreign language, and every platform I tried felt unnecessarily complex. But then I came across a simple and intuitive tool that made website building much easier. That experience taught me the importance of accessible technology for non-technical users, especially in education. That’s why we created the Website Builder for Tutor Platform —to ensure that educators, regardless of their technical expertise, can build professional and functional websites effortlessly. By the end of this article, you'll see how this tool can revolutionize your approach to online education and why it might be the perfect solution for you. A Seamless Start with Drag-and-Drop Functionality Research shows that simplicity in user interfaces significantly improves adoption rates, especially for non-technical users. Our drag-and-drop functionality eliminates the steep learning curve of traditional website development. Here's how: Ease of Use: Arrange elements with a simple click and drag. Customization: Templates can be tailored to reflect your unique style and teaching philosophy. Content Versatility: Incorporate video content, interactive books, and blogs to enrich the learning experience. According to a study by Nielsen Norman Group , intuitive design can reduce user frustration by up to 70%, allowing educators to focus on what they do best—teaching.
