Tutor Account Activation Feature

We would like to announce a new feature: Tutor Account Activation.

Tutors accounts now have to be activated by clicking on a link sent in an email to newly registered tutors. This feature improves tutor data integrity and our knowledge of tutors.

Account activation also improves the speed experienced by tutors at the end of the registration pipeline. The architectural reason for this speed boost is founded on a cronjob which now asynchronously indexes, aliases and sends out the activation and welcome emails. Previously, these operations took several seconds making our tutors sit idle in front out the check-out page.

Account Activation comes with a new activation email newly designed checkout page at the end of the tutor registration pipleline and a new front page for account activation (www.tutorz.com/activate).

Below you see a portion of the new checkout page.
