Ellucian, a passionate technology and services company, has been providing cutting-edge solutions to remove learning barriers for more than four decades. “People choose the education industry with a core passion to help educators and administrators assist students learn and it’s a lifelong commitment that people make. We want to channel that passion for education and learning into making sure that we’re adopting new tools and technologies that remove barriers,” says Jeff Ray, President and CEO, Ellucian.

Built on the latest technologies, Ellucian’s wide range of products is focused on enhancing every aspect of the modern connected campus, fulfilling students’ and faculty’s expectations. For instance, St. Peter’s University, located in Jersey City, NJ wanted to establish an online BA/BS in business to reach adult learners and for students who were unable to attend traditional college courses. “What we wanted to do was to put the entire program online,” says Elizabeth Kane, dean of St. Peter’s School of Professional and Continuing Studies. “We needed something to differentiate the program from all the others available.” By partnering with Ellucian’s Academic and Grant Services’ instructional design team, the University developed an attractive online degree program that helped in retaining their high academic standards.

Ellucian also crafted a business curriculum using gamification including gameful-learning that successfully made the online courses exciting. Scoring and rewarding students as they progressed resulted in a more positive and self-motivated learning experience.

For students, Ellucian offers interconnected software and services designed to access registration, and financial aid. Ellucian’s integrated solutions connect administrative systems with Learning Management Systems (LMS), making it easier to manage online course content and reuse course materials. Using the company’s robust set of constituent relationship management solutions, institutes establish and cultivate relationships throughout the student lifecycle and beyond. These solutions enable organizations to view comprehensive details of interactions over time and make faster and better decisions about strategies with integrated and consistent data for improved education facilities. Further, Ellucian Brainstorm is a Competency-Based Education (CBE) solution that offers a personalized experience for students.
