- What training is available to get us started?
  
  As part of the set-up, we provide a half-day training session. Most schools start with a pilot group of about 10-12 teachers.
  During the session, your faculty will have hands-on practice with the key features of Richer Picture, including creating assignments, learning how students upload their work, and assessing student entries online.
  
  The training session also helps the faculty learn how to integrate Richer Picture into their classroom. We will discuss effective strategies for deciding what goes into the portfolio, and set up a goal for your school's first uploads.
- What support is available to us with the subscription?
  
  We offer support for working with Richer Picture's site and support for integrating Richer Picture into your classroom practice.
  Our technical support includes online help, available for all students, parents, teachers and administrators. We also offer 24/7 email and phone support to every client school; most schools designate 1 or 2 individuals to be the "point people" to send inquiries to the Richer Picture support line.
