Does the ability to review lectures at anytime on a browser, iPod or cell phone truly enhance students’ ability to learn and grasp concepts? uniting the System: new Approaches to the multi-campus, multi-enrollment enterprise Sponsored by Originally Broadcast: Thursday, April 30, 2009 In search of enrollment growth, better student services and greater efficiencies, large public universities and private institutions are confronting the fundamental limitations inherent in their administrative and academic software systems. Twenty-first century education calls for new ways to handle delivery and reporting that involves multiple catalogs, students enrolled at multiple flexible locations, not to mention emerging policies that promise consistent service levels and access to students—whether they are living and learning on or off-campus.
