What The Student Gets
- A fully functional web space, the same as any other hosting provider
- The instructor can configure the automatic install of html files or WordPress
- FTP Access to upload/download files to/from the student webspace
* The student webspace operates as independent webspace which means the student can fully configure it with whatever is being taught in class. In the case of WordPress, for example, the students will be able to install plugins, update themes, build their own plugins or themes, or even install WordPress from scratch themselves.
