For Jacksonville University, meeting students’ educational needs is fundamental to their mission and core to their success. University leaders realized that to attract and retain students, they must offer the premier educational experience expected of a prestigious university. Therefore, Jacksonville University’s leaders sought an educational technology platform that offered flexibility, ease of use, and integration with other campus technology systems—while being straightforward enough for their small team to support reasonably and effectively.
George Brown College’s (GBC) administration is highly focused on reimagining and providing learner-centered experiences, as outlined in their Vision 2030, Strategy 2022 Plan. Consequently, a core component of the plan—the student’s digital experience— immediately became a top priority. For George Brown’s Digital Learning Environment (DLE) team, this translates into a heightened emphasis on providing students with a consistent, barrierless, and impactful digital experience—one that spans the complete student lifecycle.
Keiser University, one of Florida’s premier private higher education institutions, incorporates a “students first” philosophy into all it does, both inside and outside the classroom. So, whether Keiser’s leaders were working to enhance courses, ensure programs were achieving the right student outcomes, or positioning faculty to be in lockstep with each student’s progress, one thing was clear—Keiser needed an integrated educational technology platform that could support the depth and breadth of their efforts.
