“Having assistance at your finger tips is crucial.”
“The Laulima template was extremely useful. I liked how we could fill in the template and not have to worry about some of the technical aspects of putting the course together. I also appreciated being able to tailor the course to our personal style, students' needs, and course goals. .”
“I still had the freedom to tweak the course and make it my own, but having people with me to help me through made all the difference..”
