“One system to incorporate its different nuances”
The International Hotel School offers both higher education and vocational education. The two are different learning experiences, and the structure of their assessment methodology and gradebooks is very different. The school wanted one system that could work across both.
Before Classe365, processes were manual and data sat in different applications, mostly Excel spreadsheets. Matt Lambert says Classe365 was the team that could be adaptable and flexible, and work with IHS to create a solution within the structure that worked for the school. Admissions moved onto the system, and staff now track attendance and academic performance weekly.
Before
“So prior to Classe365, processes were manual. Data was stored in different applications, mostly Excel spreadsheets, and it was basically all over the place. So accuracy was a big issue.”
After
“Now with the centralized system, all data is stored in one place, and it’s more accessible.”
How they use it
Attendance, admissions and flexible programmes
-
“I did have a student who was not attending campus, and through our automated systems, we’ve identified him to be at risk because of attendance. Also, he’s missing his due dates. We’ve contacted the sponsor, and today I can proudly say that that student has officially graduated.”
Desmond Devaraj, Academic Administrator -
“Whereas now with the system, and when we started implementing with the admissions module, it was all secure, safe and secure.”
Sureta Kavanagh, Academic Compliance & Quality Assurance Manager -
“So with Classe365, the flexibility allows us to set these programs, making it easier for the lecturers, for the staff, to be able to find the students, find the attendance, find the data as well.”
Sagrie Moodley, Academic System Administrator
“It’s just that ability to treat us as if we’re their only customer, knowing that they have a host of others that they work with.”
