Stadio Chooses Canvas LMS

Stadio Higher Education supports over 20 000 students across 10 prestigious campuses in South Africa. The purpose – to empower the nation by widening access to Higher Education.

“Our vision is to be a leading Higher Education Institution, offering qualifications aligned with the needs of societies, students and the world of work.” Chris Vorster, Stadio CEO

Stadio’s challenge is that 80% of their students’ study via distance learning. Despite this, teaching and learning had mostly entailed a traditional type of delivery, not dependent on technology.

“The decision to switch to Canvas was easy; Canvas gives us the ability to blend the online world with what happens in the classroom. This made it possible for us to have live lectures in real time, while the lecturer and students are all in different locations. This will help more students to complete their qualifications and be better prepared for the world of work.” Theuns Laubscher – Head, Business Research and Development, Stadio

A First for Academia

The Academia Student Information System is a leading-edge Campus Management Software developed to cater for the needs of higher educational institutions. With Academia, all departments, functions and processes get streamlined, which leads to better transparency, productivity and control.

We are excited that we live in an era where new technologies can help us overcome this disruption and social isolation. In this vein we would like to congratulate False Bay TVET College for going live with Academia for registrations in 2021. With all workshops and training delivered remotely, this launch is a first in more than one way. Well done to each and every one involved.

Student Orientation Course:
Moving Online

Student Orientation programmes are the cornerstone of a great first year student experience and can have lasting effects on student success. For many learners, entering tertiary education for the for the first time, the excitement and nervousness that comes with the post school experience is immense and often overwhelming.

With the arrival of COVID-19, campus closures and consequent restricted access, almost all learning has gone online and first-year programmes, including student orientation, have had to adapt quickly to avoid being cancelled altogether.

So how do you move these programmes online – without losing its fun, collaborative and exciting nature? 

 

We have been designing, building and advising on fully digital orientation programmes for over two decades. Using multiple tools and resources to guide students through the basics of their Learning Management System, including concepts such as: 




  • Platform & course navigation



  • Course access & notifications



  • Access learning content & resources



  • Directs to resources within the university



  • Highlights support processes

Prepare Students for Success in 2022

Student Orientation Courses 

With the uncertainty that comes with COVID-19 in 2022, campus closures and consequent restricted access may still play a role. Many courses will remain online – whether partly or fully – and yet again first-year programmes, including student orientation, may have to be adapted for this new learning environment.

These new circumstances call for a change in how student orientation for both new students and students new to online or remote learning, are approached.

What we offer: 

In response to these new challenges, we offer a solution for both scenarios. Whether it is moving your traditional Student Orientation Course to an online environment in the form of a Virtual Campus Orientation Course.

Or guiding students through their new virtual learning environment with our Student Orientation Course for Learning Management Systems.

False Bay College Success Story

WOMEN MAKING A DIFFERENCE IN eLEARNING

False Bay College started their eLearning journey in 2008. The college embarked on a combined project with all six colleges in the Western Cape. This project set out to develop content specific courses and share this amongst the colleges. False Bay College made the strategic decision to include eLearning into their operational plan. This led to several strategic objectives for the college, with a key focus on incorporating blended learning into the teaching and learning strategy. 

Two women became the main drivers behind the strategy, namely Marian Theron, Distance Learning Manager at False Bay College and Carol Dwyer,  eLearning Manager at False Bay College.

Their hard work at meeting False Bay College’s strategic objectives, have contributed to a fully developed eLearning department, with a blended learning approach in the delivery of most programmes, delivered mainly by their customised LMS.  Read more about their journey in our downloadable success story. Simply fill out your details below.
