The TeacherVUE™ Mobile application provides the same user experience as the web-based TeacherVUE module. Requirements: • Only school districts using the Synergy student information system version 6.5.1 and higher can support the TeacherVUE Mobile application. Requires configuration of Synergy SIS by school district’s system administrator. • Requires wireless or 3G Internet connection. • The TeacherVUE Mobile iPad app uses same user login as web-based TeacherVUE portal.
