How Creatrix supports Student Flexibility?

Today’s students expose a shift in attitudes about education. They expect greater student flexibility in achieving their goals and demand quality education as a service.

To keep up to the pace, Higher Education Institutions are becoming more agile and quick to attain the long-term success of the institution and to attract students. At Creatrix Campus, we know technology is critical to achieving the same.

That is why we have the 21st century’s most intuitive and flexible elements in Creatrix Campus that boldly engages with students just the way they expect you to, right from recruitment to the time they become alumni.

The blog at length discusses how Creatrix Campus provides greater student flexibility through its different lifecycle solutions.

Picking up a new approach to managing the Student Lifecycle

Using technology strategically can make students successful. It taps their cognitive flexibility and build students executive function. After all, modern students demand modern technology. Students prefer to use state-of-the-art technology to interact every day.

What they most care about and what they expect is a flexible, cross-channel student experience that lets them easily access the personalized information they need, when they need it, across all their devices.

That’s why we have a unique student lifecycle at Creatrix Campus with Recruitment, Admissions & Enrollment, Attendance, Assessments, Learning Management System, Course Evaluation, Placement, Alumni & Fundraising that helps you personalize the student experience and promote student success.

Flexibility may have several dimensions. For students, it might mean easy access to learning materials, greater convenience in choosing the courses to study, transferring credits earned, making fees and payments, and more autonomy in choosing seminars to participate, etc.

Is there a student-centric system that inculcates a sense of self-efficacy, a sense of belonging, and the perceived value of the curriculum to both traditional and non-traditional learners?

From providing student advising, registration, academic planning, fees, and payments to handling all of the administrivia? 

Let us see how Creatrix Campus supports Student Flexibility.

Easy-to-use Admissions and checkout 

A modern student system should be a well-oiled machine throughout the student’s educational journey, starting with Admissions.

When it comes to Admissions, students have many questions in their mind—am I eligible for this course? Does the university have provision for dual degree? Will I have the right to select courses of my choice? 

All this is possible with the Creatrix Admissions module, which provides a flexible way to make it easy for students to apply through a guided application process.

Right from the time the students get admitted to a program, they automatically know of all the courses they must register, view the course schedule, without running behind people or departments.

Search and find courses through catalogs

Students anticipate modern search paradigms to find out the most trending and highlighted courses from a university. Creatrix offers configurable facets and filters to narrow down results, so they can easily find their way to the right course and subject areas. 

The online course catalog software provides information about the program details such as courses, requirements, cost, and credentials.

They get to view individual course details with complete details of the instructor, enrollment information in a handy at-a-glance format.

Create and manage accounts

Students look for independence when it comes to creating and managing accounts. They prefer a flexible system that allows them to create an account themselves with no paperwork, no waiting time, or administrative data entry.

Creatrix Admissions module allows students to create an account and prep-up to enroll, all in a single go.

“Enroll and pay-as-you-go”

Self-service functionality is counted on. Students expect this the most when it comes to enrollment. Creatrix Enrollment module has an efficient point and click interface, allowing students to figure out the open seats available, adding them to their cart, and paying for it.

This benefits students by providing quicker access to the learning they need, in no time.

Manage Finances

The often-raised question when it comes to handling finances is, “can I maintain financial aid myself”? Will I have the option to pay fees as installments?”

How winning would be the feature that allows students to control finances and know the financial situation with direct access? 

Creatrix provides an opportunity for all this—viewing financial aid, registration, paying bills, managing fees, scholarships, and any due invoices, payments all possible at the touch of a button. 

Students can ponder into every single transaction and be aware of minuscule details including total balance due, the impending due dates, payment history, etc.

Payment happens in a single click through their credit card or direct bank payment, followed by receiving a payment confirmation message.

Split invoices and scholarships, the easy way

Setting up, splitting invoices for student can be confusing. But it doesn't have to be! Creatrix Campus Finance module allows students to raise a personalized split invoice request and pay easily on approval. This systematic installment plan allows students greater accountability.

Same goes with scholarships! Students opting for financial aid to pay for their college expenses can raise a request and split invoices accordingly. On approval of the sponsor, the invoice automatically gets generated with the financial aid percentage. 

Creatrix is a student-friendly system that accommodates to any kind of scholarship restraints as per institutional and student requirements.

Guided pathway through Students Advising

Today’s freshman expects institutions to support a journey of lifelong learning. Their main concern hence is whether the university allows him to pick the student advisor/mentor of his choice?

This is fundamental because he doesn’t want to be part of those few who unknowingly enroll in and complete courses that aren’t required for their academic program or fail to take the minimum credits necessary to graduate on time.

Creatrix puts students advising at the heart of the student system where every student gets a mentor(s) of their choice to provide deeper insight into degree requirements, eligibility, and continuously keep at-risk students informed of their progress to stay on track.

With a mentor, selecting an elective becomes easier.

Intervention when students need the most

Intuitive software that intervenes students exactly when they need the most is a great bonus! Students deserve prompt support to stay on track to reach their goals.

Creatrix plans to deliver a comprehensive set of functionality including personalized learning, student engagement and student support.

Creatrix Campus is flexible enough allowing students to manage personalized academic plans where requirements are directly linked to course registration.

It leverages rich student data to provide intelligent, real-time alerts, notifications, and reminders directly linked to the student’s academic plan and keep them on track. Forums help to raise doubts, clarify, and interact with their peers. And all through mobile!

Guided setup of classroom and schedules

Is there an efficient way for students to be informed of classroom schedules, session information? 

Creatrix dishes out an easy communication system to stay connected with students through easy notifications and email communications. Students get instantly notified about their schedule, attendance report, marks obtained, courses enrolled, schedules, or schedule changes. 

In the case of blended online classes, students are sent links to join well in advance, so they connect from any place and at any given time. 

Following this is an exciting experience with classes combined with video, instructor-led training, peer-generated content, exchange of documents, PPTs, social sharing, quizzes, polls, scoring, etc for dynamic instruction.

Students also have the option to track course views, completions, survey results as they move on.
 

Pre-defined Assessments for student flexibility 

Students prefer, but customized assessments!  Ultimately that is what most software systems lack. With customized assessments, faculty have the option to personalize tests for students with different attainment levels.

This gives the option to focus on weaker students in a much better way.

Creatrix has options to customize and conduct both online and offline assessments/assignments in the form of quizzes, MCQs, long papers, articles, followed by instant onscreen evaluation.

Based on the learning outcomes mapping, the system would then intimate the students’ attainment levels, individually, making way for improvement.

Single repository to assess learning materials

Students expect greater convenience when it comes to accessing learning materials. They no longer prefer resources scattered across different pages of a website delivered through a sharing platform that’s difficult to integrate.

They look for a centralized file repository or an efficient Learning Management System that gives any time access to content in the LMS, allows them to revise topics, submit assignments/group projects, self-assess by taking up quizzes, clarify and collaborate through, polls, video, social sharing, etc.

Key Reporting to track academic progress

Post classroom, how students take up assessments and visualize the learning trajectory, is the next big concern.

Creatrix Campus supports self-service tools by which students can track their academic progress through the learning curve, their credits earned so far, learn their shortcomings, and make way for improvement.

They gain powerful insights into their progress by looking at assessment results, learning outcome attainments, grades, attendance data, etc. 

The real-time analytics platform allows to slice & dice the data the way students need it, any time.

The intuitively designed personalized student dashboards have a proven ability to display real-time status bar reports displaying current, past, and future course progresses, along with the tasks due.

Can you believe, Creatrix even has Learning and Web Log Analytics to provide insight into learner’s time spent on learning?

Alternate ways to improve Specific Outcomes Attainment for overall employability

Students fancy “move forward” ways to fill gaps to improve the chances of employability. Sometimes it could be as simple as completing an assignment or submitting a research paper and move forward.

This not only helps someone who is lagging behind but also help others improve specific outcomes attainment, expanding employability. Further to this, students also look for policies that make their end-term exam flexible.

Creatrix allows provision for student attainment seamlessly. It is flexible in terms of the program and the curriculum itself, paving way for flexible graduating options, just the way the students would want.

Flexibility to voice out grievances

Students’ opinions, when gathered at the proper time, can stimulate positive learning. Creatrix Campus provides students to seamlessly access course evaluations from both web and mobile devices for quick feedback.

This way, the institution can deliver an immersive teaching experience by closing the loop concerning faculty, courses, departments, or the institution as a whole. All this is to ensure that the students feel part of an effective, value-added process. 

Fight through the transfer maze

Creatrix has a flexible architecture that accommodates every single student in the institution to support the delivery of traditional & non-traditional education programs on a single platform. 

While many legacy systems do not yet support non-traditional educational experiences and make the transfer scene like a maze, Creatrix promotes the transfer articulation and course equivalency information transparently with clear course credits transfer count framework.

So there is greater flexibility associated with the academic bank of credits, which allows institutions to give multiple entries and exit options for students, without missing their credits. 

Placement opportunity

Students prefer software that offers a range of placements/internships opportunities for them with different CGPA levels and work experience. Creatrix Campus Placement module accommodates different placement eligibility criteria in line with students expectations.

Students can easily create job profiles, upload resumes matching skillset, search, and apply for jobs and receive internships with real-time status tracking from anywhere and anytime.

Mobile

The flexibility that the Mobile could offer students is a whole different ball game than web these days. Creatrix supports responsive mobile design tools that adjust to fit any device, and students have the same experience whether using a desktop, tablet, or smartphone.

Students stay on control over their learning experiences, attendance, grade, whether they are in their dorm room, at work, or on the go.

In-house or hostel accommodations

Students also require easy picking when it comes to staying in-house or picking hostel for their accommodation.
Creatrix hostel management system allows students to chose hostels based on their preferences and requirements without waiting for manual paperwork in a labor-intensive environment.

We even develop trust between the students and the management, allowing both parents and guardians to check the rooms and the fees associated with the room.

At Creatrix Campus, we believe that by placing students at the focal point, we end up empowering institutions to navigate the needs of today and tomorrow more effectively. Do you agree with us? Reach us to explore further.
