Universities & online programs can use visual engagement for more than just tech support. Any complex online task can be simplified with download-free visual engagement. When students are struggling to complete financial aid forms, applications, course enrollment, or other online tasks, sometimes a second set of eyes is needed to steer them to completion.

​
