For Academic Institutions With Multi-Institutional, International and/or
Experiential Programs
The traditional LMS isn’t built for learning outside the classroom.
Educational institutions continue to see the value of offering certificate programs and community learning opportunities which extend beyond the institutional wall.
While these programs continue to emerge as valuable assets, program managers run into barriers for scaling their impact:
-
Learners in mobility and experiential programs lack appropriate online support
-
Recruitment is a challenge; interaction before, during and after exchanges is limited
-
Certificate and micro-credentialing programs function differently than classes and often take place across or outside of academic calendars
-
Alumni of programs have no space to keep their community together
-
Quality global learning experiences are restricted to only a small subset of learners
-
Virtual exchange programs are not well-supported in a typical institutional LMS
