Currently, work can be saved only in some of our interactive tools. Issues of student privacy, passwords, server space, and cost have prevented us from offering this service widely. However, some tools have been revised to safely include saving of work. We will continue to update more over time as we can!
We realize that some devices do not run Flash. Therefore we have created a number of Mobile Apps that can be used on tablets. We are also working to make some of our other tools to be platform agnostic.
We have recently updated our student interactive tools to work since the discontinuation of Flash. They should work on all computers, tablets, phones, and other devices. If that is not the case, please contact us and let us know what browser (Microsoft Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, etc.) and operating system (Windows 10, Mac OSX, etc.) you are using, including version numbers, so we can investigate the issue further. Please also let us know if you are using a computer, tablet, or phone to access the tools.
