Drieam Partners with UIS for Enhanced Education Registration
In a significant development aimed at improving adult education access, Drieam has announced its collaboration with the University of Illinois Springfield (UIS). The focus of this partnership revolves around implementing Eduframe, Drieam’s innovative student information system (SIS), specifically designed for Continuing Professional Education (CAPE) programs. This partnership signifies a transformative approach towards streamlining educational processes for students and the community.
A Vision for Streamlined Learning
Drieam’s initiative came as a response to the growing need for efficient educational management systems in today’s dynamic workforce environment. Mieke Ridderhof, CMO and Managing Director for North America at Drieam, expressed excitement about the partnership. “We’re thrilled to support UIS in expanding their educational offerings,” she said. By integrating Eduframe into UIS's operations, the institution stands to benefit from a platform that simplifies the enrollment process. This integration is expected to provide learners with seamless access to a variety of workforce-focused programs tailored to meet the evolving demands of both individuals and organizations alike.
Dr. Robert Kerr, the Executive Director of Innovation and Opportunity at UIS, echoed this optimism, highlighting that the collaboration would expedite the development and management of programs directed at workforce enhancement. “With Eduframe, we can quickly launch initiatives that cater to both students and communities, thus broadening educational access,” he stated.
Enhancing Learner Experience with Canvas
Beyond just the operational benefits, the partnership will integrate Eduframe with Instructure’s Canvas, another robust platform that enhances the learning experience. Emily Keener, Director of Continuing and Professional Education at UIS, pointed out that the integration is about creating an environment where learners can efficiently pursue their professional goals. “Our students have already identified their career paths; our mission is to simplify their journey toward achieving those aspirations,” she remarked, indicating that the synergy between Eduframe and Canvas aims to create a user-friendly interface.
The initiative is portrayed not just as a technical upgrade, but as a commitment to empowering learners to take charge of their educational journeys, ensuring that their efforts translate into tangible career advancements.
Commitment to Innovative Learning Solutions
Drieam's dedication to providing powerful solutions showcases its role in reshaping higher education landscapes. By enhancing administrative workflows, Drieam is not just automating processes but fostering an ecosystem where educational institutions can thrive. The enhanced functionalities are expected to attract a broader audience, significantly contributing to UIS's goal of enriching its continuing education offerings.
Additionally, Eduframe allows institutions like UIS to efficiently manage alternative credentials, thereby making it easier for staff and learners to navigate through various educational pathways.
Mieke Ridderhof concludes, “This partnership is just the beginning of an enhanced educational experience for UIS learners. We are fully committed to supporting higher education institutions with innovative, scalable solutions that boost student engagement and institutional effectiveness.”
As this partnership unfolds, students and community members alike can look forward to a revitalized educational landscape at UIS, bringing forth more opportunities for professional growth and lifelong learning. For further details on Eduframe and Drieam, interested parties are encouraged to visit
