Company Offers Technical Support and Software Upgrades

New from AlbeSoft is Able Support, a service program that offers schools ongoing technical support and software upgrades for two popular titles. Under the Able Support program, schools holding site licenses for Teacher’s Toolbox and rSchool Detective can purchase annual contracts, thus receiving unlimited technical and customer support as well as free software version updates and discounts on other AbleSoft products.

Teacher’s Toolbox provides educators with a complete electronic grade book. New enhancements include a progress report generator, test library, import/export features and a direct uplink of student data to the rSchool.com Web site. rSchool Detective empowers teachers to combat cheating on papers, homework and other reports. Using the latest search technology, the product scans the Internet and cheat sites to determine if any content in student work was taken from another Web page.
