Learn Why You Are Guaranteed a More Reliable Experience with Web Applications
Reliable technology tools are a must in your schools. Students deserve a streamlined learning experience when using the programs you have invested in. Teachers need an all-in-one tool that won’t lose their students’ data due to internet connection issues.
When we mention web-based applications we are talking about apps that open directly in the browser. Today we will go over the reasons why web-based applications allow educational technology to perform at its best, giving your teachers and students a more reliable experience.
We’ve got great news! Istation in the browser will be available for customers running Chrome on Chromebooks in August 2021. This makes access to the application easier now than ever before.

Discover 3 Reasons Why Web Applications Guarantee a More Reliable Experience
Web-based applications offer a much more reliable experience for many reasons. Check out these 3 reasons why educational technology companies like Istation are making the switch from desktop to web-based applications.
- Educators no longer need to download and install the application. With web-based applications, there is no need to download and install the application to your desktop — a potentially cumbersome process. Users simply click a URL, and they are directed to a website to log in to the program.
- Students and teachers have 24-7 access to their programs. With web-based applications, your school’s teachers and students are able to work on their educational programs as long as there is a stable internet connection. Even if there are small disruptions in the connection, students can still finish their current activity. Virtual learners also benefit from having 24-7 access to their school’s programs.
- Developers can be more responsive in rolling out bug fixes and enhancements. With a web-based application, pushing out features and bug fixes will no longer be hampered by delays, such as getting approval by app stores or district IT departments. Platforms can push out updates anytime and aren’t limited to two or three times a year. More frequent updates ensure an exceptional and consistent experience. Students and teachers can continue working in a web-based application, knowing they’re always using the most up-to-date version.
