Littlefield Technologies: Ordering and Billing

Ordering, Price, and Support

Littlefield Technologies is software that runs on a server maintained by Responsive Learning Technologies (RLT). Institutions that use the software must remit a fee to RLT for the administration of the software on the server.

Trial Accounts

Instructors may request a free trial account and a "packet" of sample assignments, teaching notes, administrative instructions, etc. by sending e-mail to rlt-info@responsive.net with the following information:

Instructor's name, e-mail address, and institution
Desired login and password for the Administrator's page, and a short code that would be used to register teams

Within a few days, RLT e-mails the instructor the URLs and access codes for the trial account along with the packet of short documents. The trial account will allow the adminstrator to use existing scenarios, to create new scenarios, and up to 4 teams to play the simulator simultaneously. The trial account can be used for up to one year, but may not be used in an actual course.

Course Accounts

If the instructor decides to use the simulator in a course, then he or she requests a course account by sending e-mail to rlt-info@responsive.net with the following information:

Instructor's name, e-mail address, and institution
Desired login and password for the Administrator's page, and a short code that would be used to register teams
The approximate number of students that will by playing the game
The approximate dates the students will be registering and then playing each simulation
Invoice address. The invoice is typically mailed after the first simulation begins.

Within a few days, the instructor receives URLs and access codes for the course account. The trial account will remain active as well. The account is active during the term when the account will be used.

Collecting Money from Students

Options for collecting fees include:

Add the price to a mandatory course fee or reader price.
Require individual codes to register and have students purchase the codes through RLT's online store and/or a campus bookstore or copy center.
