Presentation   2015   May

May

At Foliotek, we try hard to provide the best assessment and portfolio software possible.  To do that, we make changes every week.  Sometimes we fix things that don't work, other times we release new features to improve your experience.  Below you will find a list and description of the changes we have made this month.

In case you missed it, we had a Hangout discussion with Jennifer Marcolongo at CCSNH last Wednesday.  Be sure to watch the recorded hangout to hear more about CCSNH's journey.  Also, mark your calendars for our next live hangout on June 17th with Rollins College!
