Learning Platforms: Complex Questions, Simple Answers

Posted by BusinessForward Team on October 4th, 2014

Universities and Colleges perform a very complex dance of moving parts between the staff, students and faculty.  Things are complicated even further when you consider the needs of alumni and others. There are applicants and students progressing and persisting through their student life.  There are professors and staff that are helping them and corporations and alumni looking for reasons to invest and re-invest.  Throughout all these groups, consistency and clear communication is vital.  Knowing what to communicate and when starts with understanding the complex needs of every of one of those distinct groups.
In previous articles, we talked about the learning that is gained when competencies, objectives, and outcomes are created and connected.  Institutions spend large amounts of money and resources in an effort to unlock the secrets to managing and presenting all that information to those that learn, advise, and instruct. We all know that it’s more than just having a platform that looks and functions well. Simply put: you can have the prettiest and most magnificent design out there.  But if you don’t design around the true needs of the user, they will not use it.  In education, we all know how important objectives are and how outcomes are shaped by them.  But when it comes to your platform:
  • Is the objective reached in achieving what matters most to its users, be it the student or teacher?
  • Is the outcome of interacting with the platform resulting in empowerment so that users are inspired to learn or inspired to teach?
