Do customers have to use all of the integrated Cloud services?

Administrators can choose to integrate with any combination of cloud services that makes sense for their users. For example, one district may choose to enable integration to Google Drive, DropBox, and OneDrive, whereas another district may simply choose OneDrive.

Will there be training for teachers and district technologists?

Yes! Although the interface is very intuitive, there are quick reference cards, short videos, and even live web conference training available at http://www.goqwickly.com/bbpartner/.

Who provides support?

If you need to troubleshoot an issue, you can contact Qwickly directly through the module (Support tab of the Settings area), or by submitting a ticket at http://qwickly.zendesk.com. You may also submit a Behind-the-Blackboard ticket for assistance.
