Schoology

Schoology Higher Education is the industry's leading instructional operating system, the next generation of LMS. This cloud-based, SaaS solution serves as an academic hub for instruction, communication, collaboration, and third-party integration to extend learning beyond class and into the greater campus culture.
Schoology Higher Education is aligned with the way students and faculty want to use technology. Its comfortable interface (UI/UX) and robust mobile apps make this holistic solution both easy to use and adopt on any device. Schoology also impacts important higher education initiatives outside of traditional learning.
This collaborative platform facilitates the creation of community groups for first year programs, student meetups, departmental curriculum development, and other campus initiatives. It simplifies data analysis to aid in administration and institutional research.
As the 2014 Best Overall Education Solution among all SIIA CODiE award winners, Schoology has set a new standard for online learning. Schoology Higher Education has elevated the conversation from course and learning management to an institutional, enterprise-wide conversation about efficiency, efficacy, and student success.
Please stop by our booth to discuss why it makes sense to transition your college from an LMS to Schoology's digital learning hub.

ProctorU

ProctorU provides distance proctoring services for colleges, universities and certification organizations that offer examinations online. The service allows students to take their exams from nearly anywhere in a secure environment. ProctorU uses a patent-pending three-step process that confirms that the examinee who registered for the exam is the individual who is taking the exam and is following the institution’s testing requirements. The service is modeled after the in-classroom experience and proctors monitor the entire process in order to ensure that a high level of integrity is maintained. ProctorU offers live, person-to-person, real time monitoring to over 800 colleges, universities and certification organizations, including the University of Alabama, the University of Florida, Northwestern University and the Bloomberg Institute.

Sagence Learning

Sagence Learning, Inc, previously part of Flat World, was formed to focus exclusively on providing leading-edge competency-based education technology and services to colleges and universities.

As the economy and demands of the job market continue to evolve, all students need flexible, affordable options to help them acquire new, relevant skills and earn credentials and degrees. Sagence helps its partners meet these needs by providing a comprehensive technology platform and services specifically designed for competency-based education (CBE), a student-centered model that enables people to acquire and demonstrate mastery of needed knowledge and skills regardless of place, time, or pace. From full direct assessment programs that comprehensively and holistically measure student progress and provide evidence-based data that support financial aid, to delivery of flexible, self-paced learning within the traditional credit hour structure, Sagence helps each of its partners align a CBE model to its unique strengths and create, deliver, and manage successful programs.

Sagence Learning is led by education and technology veterans and backed by BDMI and Bessemer Venture Partners, among others. Its partners include industry innovators such as Brandman University, Laureate University, Peirce College, AT Still University, SUNY Empire State and others.

This cloud-based application brings your media and people’s audio, video, and text commentary together in one online space. The results are highly interactive and engaging conversations that are secure, easy to create, and even easier to participate in. We believe that a stronger human presence in any course will help all types of learners, but achieving this can be a challenge. VoiceThread is the solution.
