Interoperability with External SystemsNexPort Campus can support data interoperability with external systems (e.g., human resources information systems, eCommerce systems, etc.). This allows NexPort Campus to both feed information to corporate information systems and to consume information from them. In this role, NexPort Campus acts as a highly efficient, extremely flexible extension of an organization’s enterprise architecture.
Communication & Collaboration ToolsNexPort Campus offers threaded discussions and collaborative web pages. These tools allow participants to pose questions, exchange information and provide guidance. The benefits of this approach address many of the weaknesses of traditional distributed learning environments that limit themselves to tutorials. Additionally, NexMeeting provides fully integrated online conferencing technologies that provide a whiteboard, chat and telephonic and headset audio, as well as record and playback capability. Partners employ these capabilities to conduct web-based seminars and classes that are accessible to subscribers in even the most remote regions. NexMeeting also provides users with the ability to set their “mood,” view and edit meeting materials on a virtual whiteboard and add, edit or delete slides to share a PowerPoint presentation.
Student Tracking & CertificationNexPort Campus employs an integrated Student Information System (SIS) that tracks students’ progress towards lesson completion, certification and graduation. It can also grant additional permissions based upon certification; and notify key stakeholders of certification status or potential expiration. Reporting filters allow organizations to develop and save custom reporting filters that create detailed views of their data.
Analytic ReportsEnrollment, subscription and training plan analytics allow users to view statistics for each of the plan types, with Enrollment Analytics Reports providing statistics for status in the section, section statistics, organization statistics and enrollment dates; Subscription Analytics Reports providing data for the date the section subscription was created and the date of last activity; and Training Plan Analytics Reports providing information for the fulfillment status, enrollment status in the training plan, date of last activity, score and GPA.
CustomizationOrganization customization allows an organization to create a theme for the website, allowing the organization to upload images for a banner and/or an icon, change the site colors, edit text, create custom profile fields and create a welcome letter.
Multiple Curriculum SourcesNexPort Campus currently hosts thousands of hours of training from many vendors. Using NexPort's blended curriculum tools, Organizations can mix and match their materials to present a collection of customized training to their members.
