What works

Each part of the service, checked from Syria.

Core useFails

The academy's courses could not be reached from Syria: netacad.com, the site where the courses are taken, never got past a blank loading page.

Landing pageFails

Opened from a desktop browser on a Syrian connection, netacad.com did not load: the page stayed blank white with only a loading spinner, and a second attempt gave the same result.
