Higher Education institutions have always held an important role
in shaping society.
Governments and employers rely on Higher Education institutions
to provide an effective learning experience for students and graduate them
with the necessary knowledge, skills and competencies
so they can enter the workforce, meet the needs of the marketplace
and have a positive impact on society.
But today's colleges and universities
face a new landscape and with it,
an ever-evolving set of challenges:
Technology and mobility advancements are bringing about new approaches to education.
Competitions for students is on the rise. Budgets are on the decline
While governments are placing higher standards for accreditation.
It's a fast changing world and
universities face increasing pressure to keep up with the changes
if they want to stay ahead of the curve
and remain competitive in attracting and retaining students.
In the face of change, the question for educators is then,
"how do they know if their decisions are leading them in the right direction?"
That's where a Learning Experience Management system like Blue by eXplorance
comes in.
While many tools and methods that are presently used are either not fully
geared towards improvement or do not sufficiently engage stakeholders,
Blue is specifically designed to engage all stakeholders
and foster a continuous cycle of improvement
that helps colleges and universities remain competitive and meet the expectations
of governments, employers and students.
So, how does blue do it?
By providing a complete set of automated process tools that enable colleges and universities
to evaluate every aspect of the learning experience
Blue sets the path to improvement by first creating a set of benchmarks
based on initial student learning requirements, government accreditation
and employer needs. Next, feedback is gathered multiple times
during the educational cycle
where results can be analyzed in real-time and trigger automated actions for
improvement as needed.
Then, improvements are continuously monitored against the initial benchmark
to ensure that the learning experience is providing all stakeholders a return on expectations.
Blue Learning Experience Management is a preventive system
that compliments predictive analytics with factual feedback that ensures
student retention and early-alert business indicators.
Consider an instructor who wants to know
if their teaching methods are effective in meeting student expectations.
By having the capability to conduct
"Anytime" in-term evaluations that factually monitor student feedback,
an instructor is provided with important real-time information
that can be used to make timely and necessary in-tern improvements
long before the end of the course.
In this example, both students and instructors directly feel the benefits from engagement.
By tying results to an improvement cycle rather than performance,
we've discovered that stakeholders are more willing to engage and high sustainable
response rates are achieved over time.
The result is true improvement in the learning experience, a more competitive institution,
more effective teachers, improved students and happier employers and alumni in the marketplace.
And that just benefits everyone.
That's learning experience management in a nutshell. To find out more,
