Important info to know
Throughout the state, all facilities will share a database.
The Aztec Learning System has separated each facility to have their own classes and a way to view their own Participants rosters and Participant progress
Users – Participants from your facility will be visible to all SUNY ATTAIN facilities using Aztec Software.
Tags – Tags have been defined as facility names. A TAG will be attached to each participant.
Tags can be utilized to filter a group of participants when viewing rosters and running reports.

The intent is because on the TASC Test Social Studies is all reading comprehension and the Science teaches directly to the correlated skills on the TASC Test.
We want the Participant to focus on absorbing ONLY information that is relevant or directly correlated to the TASC Test they are trying to pass.
