Once you have decided to shop for a new HR technology solution, you want to make sure you are identifying and evaluating vendors on the things that matter. It’s easy to get caught up in feature and functionality comparisons among vendors. In addition to those things—are there other areas you should make sure you have a full understanding before signing any contracts? Join Kristen Wylie as she covers five critical things you shouldn’t overlook throughout the selection process including:
The configurability of the solution. Are the vendors able to adopt to your critical processes and workflows or do you have to adapt yours to their system? When is okay to flex your workflows and when is it not?
The ongoing product support model post implementation. If you have an issue, can you pick up the phone or email someone and expect a reasonable turnaround time? Is it better to have a designated account manager or a team of representatives ready to address your issues real time?
Underlying dependencies around integration and technology partnerships. These may not be represented during the demo and could add cost and complexity to the implementation. What is the process for data transfer from existing systems?
Different approaches to pricing models and what to ask to ensure you fully understand what you are receiving from your contract.
Types of end-user training, remote or on-site services available to train end users of all types to drive adoption. It’s also critical to understand the release schedule and the product road map—are there on-going knowledge paths to support new users and new features and functionalities when released?
Learning objectives:
Understand what questions to ask your vendor during the product demo.
Gain a stronger understanding of the different pricing models you will encounter during the selection process and how to truly understand what you’re getting for your money.
Learn what are other ways beyond the product that vendors should be able to support you in meeting your goals and objectives.

Challenges and Opportunities in Flipped Writing Classrooms: A Preliminary Reportengedukamall
Craig, D. (2014, September). Challenges and opportunities in flipped writing classrooms: A preliminary report. Paper presented at the meeting of KAMALL Annual Conference 2014, Seoul, Korea.
[Abstract]
This study evaluates the implementation of a Flipped Classroom approach
in two academic English writing courses at a Korea nuniversity. The Flipped
Classroom approach inverts a traditional class design with students viewing
lectures at home and doing homework in class. It was developed in response
to a perceived lack of classroom time for engagement and an increase in
access to computer and Internet technologies.
Two writing courses for 67 English majors at a Korean university were
flipped with the intention of reducing lecture time and increasing students’
discussion of and engagement with writing concepts and practice during class
time. Instruction was designed to match these goals. For each major topic,
students watched a video and took an online quiz to assess their recall of
ideas from the video lecture prior to attending class. In class, students were
given time to ask questions about the lectures and assignments. They were
then asked to do class activities that encouraged them to come to a deeper
understand of the course content. These activities included worksheets, a
range of group activities, self- and peer-review of essays, and writing.
PowerPoint presentations were created for major topics in the course (7
total). From these presentations, video lectures were created. Four different
screencasting programs were used (Movenote, ActivePresenter, knovio, and
Present.me) in order to evaluate which of the programs best fit the
development needs of the instructor and the viewing preferences of the
students.
This research was conducted as a type of action research (Lewin, 1946).
The researcher was also the lecturer for the two writing courses. As such, the
focus of the research was to better understand and improve on the
instructional design of the course. To accomplish this, data were collected
from numerous sources, including quizzes, one-on-one and whole class
interactions, a research journal, and student survey responses. Preliminary
findings will be presented in three categories: student perceptions, teacher perceptions, and instructional design.
Based on student and teacher experiences, the there are a number of
instructional design changes that will take place in future classes. Videos will
be shorter. This will be accomplished by making more videos that focus on
fewer elements in each. Quizzes remain a good way to encourage students to
watch the video lectures and to assess their understanding of the content
prior to coming to class. It is clear, however, that a better way to push
students to both view the videos and take the quizzes is needed. Lastly,
more/better activities need to be developed for classes.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Fusion supports the implementation of the College’s ERP strategy
& enables the successful realization of the College’s Strategic Plan
(2012-2017) by supporting the following goals:
3
StrategicPlan,2012-2017
• Leverage technology to automate and modernize our business
processes, fostering an environment of continuous improvement
Goal 6
• Attract, develop and retain employees who have the knowledge
and skills to be fully contributing members of the College.
Goal 7
• Create the technological foundation to align with the digital
direction.
Goal 12
4. Business Drivers

INPUTS
OUTCOMES
• Listening Tour
• MNP Risk Profile
• Digital Strategy
• IT Strategy
• Auditor Letter of
Recommendation
• Empower & enable departments to manage
their own reporting, data analytics
• Focus resources on value-added services vs.
manual transactions
• Reduce current ‘centralized’ model for IT
support on corporate applications
• Deliver on top three risks: Business Process
Automation; IT Infrastructure; Human
Resource Strategy
• Take advantage of SaaS solutions which are
feature rich, stay current & ensure a
cohesive administrative set of processes
• Address gaps in IT Controls of corporate
systems
5. Technology and Infrastructure Drivers
Aging infrastructure and legacy disparate systems have a significant
impact on solution integrations
Increased complexity in IT resourcing (scarce skill sets and
disappearing systems knowledge)
Inadequate system and process documentation
SaaS solutions transfer some of the operations risk to the SaaS
vendor such as power outages, loss of data, etc.
Eliminate data duplication and integrity issues by centralizing
business and data information
InfoSec industry best practices not fully implemented, need
improvements to identity and access management to mitigate
against future data breaches and deficient IT controls
Lack of support for mobile access 5
6. Project Fusion Strategy
• Provide value added, contemporary, integrated HR/Pay/Finance
solution with standardized interfaces to enable future expansion and
timely integrations
• Automate, re-architect and document enhanced business processes
• Centralize business information and remove duplication
• Improve data integrity and business intelligence (BI) to foster
business agility
• Provide simplified access (i.e. direct, mobile access)
• Eliminate need for custom software development by specialist IT
staff
• Enhance IT security controls that have been highlighted as
deficiencies by our external auditors
6
7. Rationale for Key Project Decisions
7
Key Decision Rationale
SaaS Delivery
model
• Cloud services position the College to meet changing business
needs with open, agile and secure solutions that meet industry
standards
• Centralizes business information and data that is not managed
through interfaces with issues of synchronization and currency
• Expansion of value add business functionality is inherent with
continual upgrades that offset the effects of falling behind the
competition
• Enables streamlining of administration and implementations of
typically complex integrations
• Operational risk is shared with SaaS vendor (i.e. standards-
based data center, availability, fault tolerance, disaster recovery,
data integrity)
• Supports best practices, business process automation and keep-
current documentation
8. Rationale for Key Project Decisions
8
Key Decision Rationale
Unified Solution • Leverage common functionality
• Reduces operational efforts as the alternate “best in breed”
approach has a multiplier effect and cost on administration,
infrastructure, support and maintenance which is not viable
in the long term
• Provides consistent user experience
• Enables the ability to respond quickly to integrations
Phased Deployment
Approach and
Timeline
• Significant change to business processes impacting all
employees, phasing will provide more time for business to
digest and adapt to the change
• More time to verify solution and train employees as less
modules rollout in parallel
• Research indicates possibility of “subscription fee vacation”
or deferral of solution costs for phased implementation
9. Rationale for Key Project Decisions
9
Key Decision Rationale
Professional
Development (PD)
Rollout
• Based on research, this functionality is not part of an
integrated ERP solution
• A separate PD solution will be sourced
Budget System (BUS)
Replacement Rollout
• Based on research, robust budget functionality within an
ERP solution is not available
• A separate budget solution will be sourced
ERP data does not have
to reside only in Canada
• Based on an assessment, data may reside in the US,
Canada and member states of the European Union (EU)
