At the University of St Andrews we were looking for a system which would integrate with our LMS and offer us the opportunity to handle the user administration of non-matriculated learners easily. We opted for Eduframe, as it streamlines the admissions and payment processes, providing a quick and simple user experience from first visiting our website through to payment and starting a course.

Eduframe is a highly scalable solution that we leverage for our online offerings and has provided the capability for us to grow. The idea that Eduframe enables a very small team to manage absurd amounts of users and learning experiences is incredible. With Eduframe, we are able to structure OWC’s workforce training programs, which consist of pathways composed of stackable micro-credentials. This enables learners to combine individual courses and create personal programs, making our offerings highly attractive for non-traditional learners.

Profile Picture of Marijn Vijgen of TIAS
If I were to describe Eduframe, I think of a modern SIS that fits the needs to shape flexible and personalized education. I don’t believe that with a traditional SIS I also get that focus on lifelong learning that I do get with Eduframe. I am eager to see what else Eduframe can do to promote lifelong learning. Not only on the administration side, but also on the front end by offering adaptive learning journeys.

Definitions

What is Eduframe?

Eduframe is a student information system (SIS) and online storefront specifically designed for providers of lifelong learning, professional development, and continuing education. The platform enables educational institutions to convert more learners, automate course administration, personalise communication, and provide an optimal learning experience. Eduframe is seamlessly integrated with the Canvas LMS (Learning Management System).

A student information system (SIS) is an administrative software package used by educational institutions to manage student data. An SIS typically includes the following functionalities:

  1. Registration and Enrolment: Facilitating the enrolment process for students by capturing relevant personal and contact details.
  2. Course Management: Managing course offerings, schedules, availability, and the allocation of tutors.
  3. Payment Processing: Processing payments for course enrolments and managing financial transactions.
  4. Attendance Tracking: Monitoring student attendance and participation in classes and programme components.
  5. Assessment and Certification: Recording assessment results, generating certificates, and tracking student progress.
  6. Communication: Facilitating communication between students, tutors, and administrators via integrated messaging features.
  7. Reporting and Analytics: Providing data analysis and reporting capabilities to evaluate the effectiveness of the programme and student outcomes.
  8. Integration: Integrating with payment gateways, learning management systems, and other relevant tools to improve the overall experience.

A modern SIS for lifelong learning, such as Eduframe, goes beyond mere administration. It streamlines processes by linking with an LMS like Canvas, automatically synchronising courses, enrolments, and certificates. In addition, Eduframe is specifically designed to provide a solution for the challenges in continuing education (see the answer below for more details).

Key Benefits

The main benefits of Eduframe are:

  • More enrolments through higher website conversion via an attractive, integrated course catalog and an enrollment form optimized for lifelong learning.
  • Significant time savings for administrative teams by automating repetitive tasks and streamlining course scheduling and educational logistics.

An optimal student experience by providing a seamless journey from enrolment to learning, with a central portal for all course information.

Eduframe helps increase enrollments in several ways:

  • It transforms an institution’s website into a clear educational catalog, where visitors can enroll and pay 24/7. The catalog can contain single (short) courses or full programs consisting of multiple courses.
  • This catalogue can be enhanced with various triggers and calls to action, which increases the conversion rate of visitors into actual enrollments.
  • The system supports both individual and corporate (B2B) enrollments and can be linked to CRM and marketing software like Salesforce and HubSpot to effectively follow up on leads.

You can also view the educational catalogs of existing Eduframe users such as Jones College Online Workforce College, University of St. Andrews, and University of Illinois Springfield.

Read how the University of St Andrews (UK) used Eduframe to convert more learners.

Eduframe centralizes the complete management of courses and students, from the publication of the course catalogue on the institution’s own website to enrollment and, ultimately, certification. One of Eduframe’s key priorities is to reduce the administrative burden on staff at educational institutions. Administrators have the option to create and use templates for a number of frequently used actions.

  • Course templates contain general information about the course that applies to every run or edition, as well as information that is automatically placed on the institution website. This general information can also be synchronized to the LMS, for example.
  • Session templates: Within a course, sessions can be scheduled (contact moments with the participant, online or physically on-site). By using session templates, the sessions that are required for a specific course do not have to be re-entered for every run.
  • Scheduled email templates: Within a course, various emails can be scheduled to be sent automatically to participants, tutors, and/or administrators based on a specifiable (start) date.
  • Task templates: Standard tasks can be created for actions that an Eduframe administrator needs to perform related to the organization of a course. This could include checking whether the course has enough participants, ordering course materials, or awarding certificates.
  • Certificate templates: Administrators in Eduframe can create fully customizable templates for certificates, with various fields that can be filled with data about the course(s) and the participant.

In a similar way to courses, there are also ‘program templates’, which can be used to plan long-term courses or programs (i.e., a collection of courses).

A central calendar also provides an overview and prevents double-booking of tutors or locations. The seamless integration with Canvas LMS automates data synchronization, preventing duplication and errors.

Eduframe is built to provide an excellent and comprehensive student experience, from the website to the learning experience (whether in the LMS or not) and finally, the completion of a course with a certificate. Eduframe makes it possible to integrate the entire course catalogue into the institution’s own website (including the look and feel). This makes it easier for students to discover and view courses and to enroll easily.

After enrollment and payment, students get direct access to the course materials in Canvas via Single Sign-On (SSO), with no delay or extra logins. In their personal Eduframe portal, students can also see an overview of all the courses they are enrolled in, their academic progress, results already achieved, downloadable certificates, and personal appointments. With one click, you can jump back and forth between Eduframe and Canvas. This reduces friction and thereby improves the student experience.

Eduframe is designed with lifelong learning in mind and offers maximum flexibility. The platform makes it possible to offer modular and stackable education, where students can build skills at their own pace. Throughout the entire learning journey, progress and development remain visible in the personal portal. This user-friendly experience encourages students to continue their professional development and to enroll in follow-up programs at the same institution.

In addition, Eduframe also supports the processing of B2B orders. In lifelong learning, it is common for employers to pay for their employees’ education or courses. Eduframe makes this possible, including with:

  • an enrollment form that allows invoicing in the name of a company,
  • a CRM data structure with organizations and underlying contacts,
  • a dedicated business portal where B2B clients have insight into orders already placed and the progress of the students who are part of their organization.

Finally, Eduframe makes it possible to offer education via different modalities (i.e., online, face-to-face, and blended), both self-paced (where the student determines their own learning pace) and instructor-led (where the student follows a schedule determined by the institution).

Yes, this is a core functionality of Eduframe. You can structure your educational offering into single courses, blocks, and full programs. Students can start with a single course and later “stack” it with other modules to ultimately achieve a more comprehensive credential or qualification. Programs can also be personalized by, for example, offering optional modules or giving students the chance to follow parts of the program at their own pace.

Functionalities

Eduframe is specifically built for Canvas LMS, resulting in a very deep and reliable integration. This link ensures automatic data synchronization in both directions, such as courses, student and tutor enrollments, calendar appointments, and academic results. Thanks to Single Sign-On (SSO), users can effortlessly switch between the administrative portal in Eduframe and the learning environment in Canvas.

Yes, Eduframe has an open architecture that facilitates integration with other systems. It offers out-of-the-box integrations for common platforms, such as payment gateways (Stripe, Mollie), websites (WordPress), and Business Intelligence platforms (Microsoft PowerBI). For other systems, such as CRM packages (Salesforce, HubSpot) or financial software, Eduframe has a comprehensive open API and support for webhooks, which allows for custom integrations (possibly via an integration platform). Drieam’s integration specialists are happy to provide support for setting up such custom integrations.

Eduframe automates a wide range of tasks. This includes recurring communications such as enrollment confirmations, payment reminders, and welcome messages.

Based on templates (see also ‘How does Eduframe simplify course administration?’), sessions, tasks for staff, and email messages can be automatically scheduled, for example, on a given number of days before or after the start or end date of the various course editions.

The process from online payment to granting access to course materials in Canvas can be fully automated, allowing students to start learning immediately.

Then read our case studies from Jones College OWC, University of St Andrews and TIAS School for Business and Society, or schedule a free demo. We’d be happy to explain why Eduframe is the best solution for flexible, future-focused education.

When choosing a SIS for postgraduate education, it’s important to look for a system that integrates with your existing learning management system (LMS) and offers a seamless user experience for both students and administrative staff. A good system grows with your educational offering and responds to future market developments.

Consider the following:

  • Are all basic functionalities present?
  • Can time-consuming processes be automated?
  • Is integration with existing systems possible?
  • Is the system modular and scalable for lifelong learning?
  • What analysis capabilities does the system offer?

Also read the full article in our knowledge base.

Educational institutions offering lifelong learning programs face a number of challenges:

  • They feel the need to compete for enrollments.
  • The growth of lifelong learning offerings is accompanied by an increasing administrative burden.
  • The modular structure of continuing education means that institutions have to design their curricula, track academic progress, and issue certificates in a different way.
  • In continuing education, not only individual students enroll in courses on their own behalf, but it is also common for employers (B2B) to enroll their staff members, requiring a different administrative handling.

Eduframe is specifically built to address the unique challenges of continuing education. With a conversion-oriented online storefront, generating enrollments becomes easier. Thanks to smart integrations and automation, manual and error-prone administration is minimized.

Furthermore, Eduframe supports flexible learning pathways, such as stackable and personalized education, making it easy for working professionals to continue their professional development and to keep returning for more courses.

Finally, Eduframe simplifies the administration around B2B enrollments with a dedicated portal for corporate clients. This allows, for example, HR managers to easily track the progress of their employees.
