RE: Portal solution

Found In Egroup: Small Colleges \ view thread

I've not yet experienced an ERP/SIS portal that worked for me. So, my position has been to always keep them 100% transactional for their specific purpose (i.e., registration, paying bills, and financial aid). For example, we tried putting a link into our LMS inside our SIS portal, and it forces a pop-up--good ...

I'll add a new one I didn't see in this thread: Slik Protect https://www.slikprotect.com/ I found them very responsive, easy to work with, and willing to consider feature requests.

hi Jason, we've had this on for as long as I can remember (years I guess, not sure when it was released, but since then), it's available to all education accounts (i.e., you don't need plus). We've not tried to measure any delay, but we have no complaints and I've never seen much of a delay for myself. ...

We also use Proctorio, and I believe it works with the new quizzes (we have not tested yet, we are delaying the transition as long as possible). Here's a list I compiled last year, it might help. I find there to be lots of entries in this space with highly competitive pricing. ExamRoom.AI Examsoft ...

Hi everyone, We are looking at backup solutions for our google workspace. Thus far we've been relying on Vault to cover us, but that's not really a backup solution, though it may do in a pinch (we are a small school, so perhaps we can manage that bit easier). I wanted to share three companies we ...

+1 for simple syllabus many years ago, we made our own integration using the Canvas APIs. It basically grabbed everything on the syllabus page in Canvas and then generated a PDF. The code is probably gone now (and I'm not at the school anymore). But it was not too hard to set up, if you have the resources, ...

I don't have much new to add, but +1 to what others have said! Administrative and end-user support are hidden costs that I find are more significant in the Microsoft ecosystem. Like many institutions, we are in both systems to an extent (though Google would be our "main" system). I'm sometimes lured ...

I've found that doing one-off trainings work best, as opposed to an ongoing "program." For example, a 1-hour workshop on Google Docs and Sheets, or a 1-hour "Advanced Excel" training. If it's successful, I'd follow up with a part 2. I've done these in person or on Zoom, both successful. I target particular ...

Hi Allan, We do this. Hubspot is our CRM. We typically use Eventbrite for ticketing. We don't deal with live performances like you would, so I don't know if Eventbrite is built for that.
