Valencia Community College Student eLearning
Valencia Community College has more than 3500 students enrolled. These students use a Campus Pipeline portal to access their Distance Learning courses, register, and so forth. This highly complex IT environment uses the Banner Student Information System and Campus Pipeline to provide portal access and serve up the appropriate student content. Digitec integrated Knowledge Direct® into this enterprise to provide financial education courseware and CLAST Test preparation for the college students.

The financial education modules were created from existing courseware Digitec developed for InCharge Institute of America. This courseware won the Brandon-Hall Excellence in Elearning award in 2004. The modules are served up, based on the student profile, using single sign-on. The pre-testing, post-testing, and survey data are tied to the student record and are available to the campus financial aid department.

VCC also uses Knowledge Direct to provide CLAST preparation for their students. The faculty creates the highly interactive instruction using Microsoft® PowerPoint®, then ports the modules to the students using Knowledge Direct.
