Taking a systemic view of education systems

Providing school leaders with tools and data for better decision making

Creating shared services models

Equipping students for higher achievement

But most importantly, smarter education will reshape learning not around administrative processes, but around the two key components of any education system: the student and the teacher.[NEXT SLIDE]

"In the US, 80% of young adults, 60% of teens and 30% of adults use social networks.

"Social networks...have become a primary destination for online users.

"...a typical 21-year-old in the US entering the workforce today has played video games for 5,000 hours, exchanged 250,000 emails, instant messages and phone text messages, has 10,000 hours of cell phone use and has spent 3,500 hours online.

"For many of this generation, social networking is even supplanting email as the preferred method of communication.

The University of London is one of the oldest, largest and most diverse universities in the UK. The University consists of 19 self-governing Colleges including UCL, Kings College and the London School of Economics and Political Science as well as the prestigious School of Advanced Study. In total, over 90,000 people study as internally registered students on campus. In addition there are also more than 41,000 distance learning students, registered by the University of London through the External System.The University of Londons External System currently employs more than 180 staff, who are engaged in a wide range of administrative and academic activities. These administrative functions encompass the whole student lifecycle, from admission and enrolment through to graduation. The efficient and cost-effective delivery of these services is one of the principal challenges that the External System faces.Craig OCallaghan, Director of Business Transformation at the University of London, explains: For a number of years, the back-end of our administrative processes has been driven by IT systems that have not enabled us to deliver the level of service which we would ideally like to give our students, particularly in the area of online services.Many of our processes are still paper-based, and somewhat time consuming to perform which is not only a heavy burden on our administrative staff, but is also not cost-effective. We are currently spending approximately 2 million per year on print and distribution costs. We decided we needed a new IT infrastructure and software system that could help us reduce costs and improve our ability to deliver our diverse range of services to students online.The University also wanted to foster a greater sense of community in the distance learning programme by providing collaboration tools to help students communicate and exchange ideas both as an aid to the learning process and to help improve the Universitys competitiveness in a global distance learning market.
