Is the platform aligned with FERPA regulations?
Yes. We take the privacy of your students seriously and that’s why we have made sure that our education platform and curriculum meet FERPA regulations.
Additionally, all student work can be moderated by the teacher, and students will be working with a specialized version of the Wix Editor, which helps keep them safe by blocking access to risky parts of the editor.
Which standards are covered by the curriculum?
The curriculum is in line with ISTE standards for students and has been awarded the ISTE Seal of Alignment. The Web Development curriculum is also aligned with CSTA and CSforAll standards.
