In order to offset an industry-wide decrease in new student enrollments, many colleges and schools are looking for new ways to increase and maintain tuition dollars and revenue. One popular and effective option is to sell short courses online in an asynchronous delivery method. This approach allows potential students to purchase courses and complete them on their own schedule, while typically requiring limited staff support from the institution.
In this article, we are going to look at several examples of how this works for various educational providers using the EDlumina platform of educational software solutions.
Cyanna is very familiar with how the EDlumina line of software solutions can benefit schools and organizations who are transitioning to an online model. For individuals less familiar with what EDlumina can do, tangible examples of its potential are helpful in displaying its capabilities and value. Here, we will discuss how Ohio University's Sports Gambling Education program, New York Real Estate Institute's online NY salesperson licensing prep courses, and Cyanna's Career Connect program leverage EDlumina to deliver their educational offerings online.
Ohio University's Sports Gambling Education program at sportsgamblingeducation.com provides comprehensive training on the sports gambling industry. By utilizing EDlumina Catalog, the program has opened up an online revenue stream. Prospective students have the opportunity to create a student account, search, review, and purchase available courses and get started all on their own time. This allows Ohio University to leverage an entire ecommerce education solution, and works seamlessly with their SGE website.
Furthermore, Ohio University uses EDlumina Admissions to manage the new student sign-up process, including lead tracking & automated engagement, course enrollment, and digital storage of students’ progress within their certification courses. The software tracks critical student enrollment information and manages the entire process, ensuring that payments and course registrations are conveniently and 100% digitally organized.
New York Real Estate Institute (NYREI)NYREI offers online NY salesperson licensing prep courses through nyrei.com. The institute leverages EDlumina Catalog to allow potential real estate professionals to purchase and complete their required courses online. This asynchronous learning model provides flexibility for students to complete their training at their own pace, which is especially beneficial for working real estate professionals.
Cyanna's Career Connect program for CompTIA certification training is another great example of how EDlumina can support online education. The program offers colleges and universities across the US, such as Brookdale & Columbus State (GA), a range of IT certification prep courses that can be purchased, accessed, and completed online.
By using EDlumina Catalog, Career Connect provides an easy-to-navigate platform for students to enroll in courses. EDlumina Admissions manages the entire enrollment process, from lead tracking to course registration, ensuring a smooth and efficient experience for both students and administrators.
Cyanna is excited to see how our software solutions will continue to be used to build and offer innovative, affordable, and convenient online education experiences. These examples demonstrate the versatility and effectiveness of EDlumina in supporting various educational programs.
