Enhancing Educational Data Systems
Colleges and universities need an easy and flexible student administrative system so that may more effectively manage and use student data to enhance the educational experience. TopSchool fits the bill by offering a student lifecycle system that supports the business of higher education through the entire process of admissions, enrollment, academics, job placement, and alumni status. In this Stanford University podcast, president Matthew Schnittman discusses the organization’s model for service delivery, and where it’s headed. His talk was part of the Global Education Conference, held in partnership with Goldman Sachs and the Stanford School of Education.
