"Having everything delivered through a single interface makes the learning curve easier for students, who can be quickly trained on all three products during the orientation process. They're working in one consistent environment.”
-- Kelly Walsh, director of Institutional Information and Technology, The College of Westchester
CampusCruiser PORTAL is an essential tool for performing academic, administrative, and transactional activities at colleges. Our solutions are hosted on our servers, implemented and serviced by us, and delivered to you on-demand. This means you can:
Send Security Alerts/Campus Notices: When you have important 'flash' information that you want to get to students, staff, and faculty, quickly, using a mass notification system like CampusCruiser ALERT ensures that the messages are delivered as planned. Constituents can sign-up, opt-out, and update their contact information at any time so they can keep track of what's important to them.
Track your Communications Effectiveness: Because onilne communication passes through your campus portal, it is much easier to keep track of campus-wide communication and track student activity in online courses hosted through CampusCruiser LMS. Armed with this information faculty can adjust teaching plans, administrators can modify schedules--based on 'hard' data, rather than hunches.
Stay Ahead of the Curve: With a CampusCruiser PORTAL on your campus, you can communicate with your students using the Web 2.0 tools they are already familiar with -- and expect to be able to use--email, blog, wiki, chat, text messages, and more.
Notify Staff of Programs/Policies: Keeping staff motivated starts with keeping them informed. Building communities exclusively for staff groups, departments, teams, and others can help you keep your staff on top of policy changes and program successes.
Answer Questions: Community leaders have an opportunity to engage with community members by answering their questions in the community message boards for others to view.
Seek the Opinions of Others: The college administration needs to know what students, staff, and faculty are thinking. With our Survey Tool you can target specific groups for feedback about institution changes, policies, events, and academics.
