Enhancing Student Engagement at LAPU with Pathify
Los Angeles Pacific University (LAPU), a fully online Christian institution, is making waves in the digital education landscape by partnering with Pathify, a leading provider of digital engagement solutions for higher education. This collaboration aims to redefine the student experience through the launch of
myLAPU, a comprehensive digital portal designed to simplify and improve how students access essential services and information.
In today's online learning environment, where students often feel disconnected, LAPU has recognized the need for a modern platform that mirrors the conveniences of everyday applications. The absence of a physical campus necessitated an innovative solution for consolidating various digital tools into one cohesive system. Previously, students navigated a cluttered array of disconnected portals and mobile apps,
which created barriers to accessing vital resources.
According to Daniel Terrones, LAPU's Director of Information Technology, the shift to Pathify was motivated by a desire to enhance the overall online student experience. "Our digital platform needs to function like a true campus," Terrones noted. Pathify's user-centric design and ability to centralize multiple systems into a single interface were significant factors in the decision-making process.
The
myLAPU portal integrates critical campus systems such as Jenzabar One, D2L, and Moodle, to provide a streamlined and holistic experience for students. Instead of navigating separate platforms, users can now enjoy a unified interface that reduces confusion and supports their academic journey. This change not only empowers students but also enhances engagement and efficiency among faculty and staff, thereby creating a vibrant online community.
Chase Williams, CEO and Co-Founder of Pathify, emphasized the growing need for institutions to rethink their digital strategies. He highlighted that centralizing the digital experience is no longer just an enhancement but an essential requirement in delivering effective support in both hybrid and fully online educational contexts. "We are proud to support LAPU as they strengthen their student-centered digital campus," said Williams, underscoring the importance of adapting to the evolving educational landscape.
Founded on principles of faith and a commitment to accessible education, LAPU offers a range of degrees for individuals seeking higher education. This collaboration with Pathify represents a significant step in enhancing not only the technological infrastructure but also the overall quality of education by facilitating better student outcomes.
Pathify's approach emphasizes a personalized experience by delivering tailored content and resources, ensuring that all students, from prospective learners to graduates, receive the support they need at the right time and in a manner that suits them. Their focus on creating meaningful long-term relationships with institutions underscores their commitment to innovation and excellence in educational technology.
As LAPU embarks on this exciting new chapter, it stands as a pioneer in the online educational realm, setting a precedent for other institutions to follow. The launch of myLAPU marks a transformative moment, illustrating how technology can reshape the educational experience, fostering greater engagement, and enhancing student success.
