Some colleges are doing more than jump on the technology bandwagon – they’re driving it. From financial aid to the application process and beyond, forward-thinking schools are implementing technology across the college experience. And entrepreneurs are pioneering products that meet the demands of these forward-thinking schools.

TECHNOLOGY

Luddites, beware! Some colleges are doing more than
jump on the technology bandwagon
– they’re driving it.
From financial aid to the application process and
beyond, forward-thinking schools are implementing
technology across the college experience.

And entrepreneurs are pioneering products
that meet the demands of these
forward-thinking schools.

4. 4
Some school officials say it’s refreshing, some say
unnecessary and others simply want to replicate it as
fast as they can!

5. 5
Whatever your position on the merits of technology in
higher ed, my bet is that you will be amazed at how
schools and ed tech companies are innovating the
postsecondary industry to a new level.

CAUGHT ON CAMERA:
COLLEGE APPLICANTS

FINANCIAL AID OFFICE GOALS
If Goucher College is looking for a sudden influx of
applicants next year, they won’t be disappointed.
The Maryland-based school is targeting the millennial
generation with a video application option.

8. 8
FINANCIAL AID OFFICE GOALS
Prospective Goucher students are allowed to forgo
submission of a traditional college application including
transcript, letters of recommendation and standardized
test scores in favor of a two-minute video.

9. 9
FINANCIAL AID OFFICE GOALS
In the video, which must be self-produced, students
explain why they want to attend Goucher and how they
see themselves thriving at the school.

FINANCIAL AID OFFICE GOALS
Goucher President Jose Bowen says, “High school
students who might not have a laptop…might not
have a way to write their essay. But they probably
have a phone, and they understand how to use the
phone to make a video.”

THE ONLINE CHEAT BEAT

12. 12
SOLUTION
Don Kassner and Jarrod Morgan, respectively former
president and former chief technology officer of
Andrew Jackson University, created ProctorU after a
student asked Kassner why she had to drive to a test
center to take the exam for her online course.

13. 13
SOLUTION
ProctorU:
• Services 560 colleges
• Oversees more than 50,000 exams per month
• Views a test taker by webcam
• Looks at the user’s screen to prevent cheating

14. 14
SOLUTION
The live proctor gives the exam monitoring company an
additional layer of security over other companies that
may use robotics or other devices to give
online exams.

DIGITAL AND DYNAMIC
AWARD LETTERS

16. 16
RESULTS
CampusLogic and its new product AwardLetter are
teaming up with schools across the country to
revolutionize the financial aid process.
Many postsecondary schools strive to help students
lower unnecessary borrowing amounts (three cheers!).

17. 17
RESULTS
CampusLogic clients use AwardLetter to digitize their
award letters so that students may view them on any
device – such as those smartphones they never leave
the house without.

18. 18
RESULTS
With AwardLetter, schools can better inform and
educate students on responsible borrowing by creating
an interactive award letter featuring online references
and video tutorials.

19. 19
RESULTS
Advanced analytics track letter receipts to prevent
“lost” award letters ensuring enrollments aren’t lost
during the financial aid process.

20. 20
RESULTS
With the constant barrage of compelling and
animated content vying for their attention, it’s no
surprise that young people’s eyes glaze over when
they are asked to review plain text paperwork.

21. 21
RESULTS
AwardLetter helps schools compete for (and win)
student’s full attention – a feat that can only have
positive repercussions for the student, the school and
the nationwide student debt crisis.

DOUBLE DOWN

23. 23
SCHOOL STATS
Approximately
7.3 million students
were expected to attend two-year schools in the
2014-15 year.
A number of those students will transfer to four-year
universities before or after completing their
associate’s degree.

24. 24
SCHOOL STATS
For some, miscommunication or misinformation will
delay or prevent the transfer. The process of
transferring from a community to four-year college may
be complex, but it shouldn’t be impossible.

25. 25
SCHOOL STATS
Enter Transfer Bootcamp, a free online service that
helps community college students build a transfer plan
that guides students to the classes they must take to be
a competitive transfer applicant at any school.
