4.0 | User Interface
4.1  User Interface
Thinkgate Narrative: | The Elements Platform contains multiple solution components (Assessments, Standards, Curriculum, Reporting, etc.) that are built with the same technology infrastructure, and with a consistent user interface. They are seamless because they were built as parts of a single application. Because the system is web based, with browser delivery to the users, it operates very much like an advanced web site. The system opens additional browser windows for certain operations; advanced users can also open multiple browser windows run multiple instances of the application on their desktop. The system is supported by many industry standard browsers, including [NAME], which allows use of IPads. Additional tablet and mobile device browsers will be certified over time.  The user interface was designed with teachers in mind. A dashboard interface provides quick visibility to the most important information, with intuitive click through access to other reports, features, and information.
