The Benefits Matrix
|
| Use of multiple tools to create content often leads to broken links, data/ information integrity problems, increased errors, and inefficient change management of content. | The HAAT solution provides a permissions-based framework; an easy-to-use editing interface; a secure, collaborative environment; and automated workflows for administrative approval. | |
| Managing an ever-growing number of digital learning resources is difficult because of the lack of workflow processes to move content from administrators to managers to faculty staff. | Streamlined content publishing and delivery processes help enable easy “course rollover” by administrators and course content creation by faculty staff much ahead of time. | |
| Students expect online learning materials in near or real time, faculty requires a flexible course content manager, and staff demand that content be created before publishing it. | Streamlined content publishing, workflow management, and collaboration tools result in real- or near- time information creation, and publishing among students, faculty, and staff. Built-in checks and balances for content authoring and publishing help curriculum staff determine appropriateness and completeness of content without gaps, overlaps, or redundancy. The improved curriculum system increases the rate of adoption by faculty and students, leading to increased online collaboration. | |
| Existing manual systems to manage content and design is time-consuming with high maintenance cost, leading to a Website that is less relevant and accurate, thereby diluting the university’s online brand presence. | A centralized Web portal with distributed authorization and control results in a uniform design, and presents a more consistent image to the market. | |
| | Deploying a platform-neutral, open-source, technology-based solution allows easy integration with existing systems, resulting in the lowest possible cost with high ROI. |

The result is improved communication and productive collaboration among students, faculty, and administrative staff. The portal helps the faculty collaborate on academic research, locate a classroom, share knowledge and resources, and manage the curriculum, thereby improving faculty productivity by minimizing the time spent on administration.
