eLumenation 2021

eLumen CEO, Joel Hernandez, provides his annual update on eLumen. He will celebrate new releases and partner product announcements, share new customer engagement opportunities, and give a preview of our 2021-2022 roadmap. With a new round of investment in 2021, exciting new organizational alignments, and stronger-than-ever partner offerings, the entire eLumen team is excited to share another eLumenation with you!

President of San Antonio College, Dr. Robert Vela, will discuss the ever changing landscape of education, strategies employed by the college to improve student success, and San Antonio College's journey to achieving the prestigious Aspen Award for top community college in the United States. 

This presentation will be co-presented by eLumen and Badgr Pro experts Dr. Renah Wolzinger and Robert Bajor. You will learn how to design eLumen Pathways and how the badges and pathways data can be awarded and shared. We will talk about pathway design, competencies and assessment, and the benefits for both the institution and students. We will focus on implementation, what is involved, how to set up the platform and integrate with your LMS and how you can quickly adjust your pathways to evolve with the changes in the workforce.

Please join our director of product management as he presents our product roadmap and shares how eLumen helps keeps your promise to the learner.

In this session, we will demonstrate how a successful data load solution may be implemented, through identifying and extracting SIS data and staging it in an intermediary workspace, validating the extracted data and converting it to an XML file for upload. The presentation will include examples of dependency and referential integrity checking of the data, as well as creating a functional specification that covers the scope of the SIS data that is extracted, and how it is mapped to the respective eLumen items. Finally, we will demonstrate a fully self-contained integration solution that generates the XML file directly from SQL Script and stages the file for upload.

Colleges and Universities use eLumen to accomplish tasks ranging from the everyday tasks of assessment, to managing curriculum and creating catalogs, to planning, program review, and reporting, with major stopovers at badging, student portfolios, and pathways to student success. Building on those capabilities, though, eLumen also provides a foundation on which to develop a true culture of assessment, to employ true research methods to answer complex questions regarding assessment data, and to accomplish a true alignment of national competencies and standards with Institutional and Program Learning Outcomes. This roundtable discussion presents approaches to the truth of the matter in all of these areas at two institutions, a college offering liberal arts and specialized programs at the undergraduate and graduate levels and a university focused on specialized graduate education.

As we strive to adjust the dial on education, come and celebrate all the helpful sessions attended and see which colleges have earned awards for their efforts and ingenuity!
