Student Information Systems
Digital Skills Academy Adopts Online SIS and Portal
p>
Digital Skills Academy, an
Ireland-based school offering an online international Bachelor of Science honors
degree in digital technology, design and innovation, plans to implement an
online student information system (SIS) and portal.
The school selected the OneWorldSIS
student information system and OneWorldSIS Portal. The OneWorldSIS system is
built on the Microsoft Dynamics
customer relationship management (CRM) platform and uses this underlying
extendable and activity-based technology to automatically generate, manage and
track processes through the entire student lifecycle, according to information
on the company's site.
Digital Skills Academy will use the system to manage recruitment, enrolment,
class management and alumni services, and administrators and staff will use it
to analyze recruitment, retention and other analytics. The OneWorldSIS Portal
will let instructors, students and parents enter and share information through
the student information system from any computer or tablet, whether it is
on-campus or online, as well as through Microsoft Outlook.
In related news, OneWorldSIS is participating in
Microsoft CityNext, which
is a global initiative to help cities and the organizations and individuals
within them to "re-imagine their futures and cultivate vibrant communities." As
part of this initiative, cities will be able to use OneWorldSIS to connect
students and parents with educational services in their area.
