The star-studded cast of Thesis SM integrations
Posted on Friday, September 27th, 2024
Making great movies takes more than a talented director or a popular lead actor. Great movies are brought to life by the orchestrated effort of many hard-working people, from camera operators to caterers, each contributing their expertise to the project.
Similarly, a solid Student Information System (SIS) must be integrated with a variety of services to meet the needs of a community like ours. To achieve this, the R3 Project and Information Technology Services (ITS) are working together to integrate dozens of industry-leading solutions to Thesis SM, Algonquin College’s new SIS.
With all that being said, let’s get to know a few of the Thesis SM integrations! Click the names of the integrated platforms below to discover what they do and how they’ll make things better for our learners and employees.
Ontario College Application Service (OCAS)
OCAS is the central application service for Ontario colleges. All domestic applicants interested in studying at Algonquin College must use OCAS.
🎓 One of the many benefits associated with the integration of OCAS to Thesis SM is Domestic on Demand (DoD), which will expedite the domestic application process by up to 99%! Sounds incredible, doesn’t it? Watch the March 2024 Showcase Event to learn more about the benefits DoD will provide.
Ontario Student Assistance Program (OSAP)
OSAP is a Financial Aid program that offers grants and student loans to Ontario learners so they can attend college.
🧑🎓 Thesis SM will help College employees identify and assist learners get back on track when their course loads do not meet OSAP’s requirements.
Flywire
Flywire is a next-gen payment platform that simplifies college fee payments for both domestic and international learners.
🪙 Learners will be able to use the Thesis Student Portal to know when fees are due and make fee payments in a few simple steps, both in Canada and abroad. If you’d like to know more about Flywire’s integration with Thesis SM, check out the fee payment demo from the November 2023 Showcase Event.
Brightspace
Brightspace is a cloud-based Learning Management System (LMS) that allows college instructors to create online modules for their courses so learners can access lecture materials, complete coursework, view grades, and more.
📑 Thesis SM will work with Brightspace to enrol learners in their online course modules and display their grades in the Thesis Student Portal.
Infosilem
Infosilem analyzes course scheduling data to find the best time and room for college courses, respecting the requirements of learners and instructors as well as space constraints.
📆 Infosilem will use data from Thesis SM to produce balanced course schedules and deliver timetables to learners in a timely manner via the Thesis Student Portal.
Bookware
Bookware creates organized course structures that colleges can use to assign textbooks and other course materials to learners.
📚 Bookware will get enrolment data from Thesis SM to streamline the process of ordering course materials for the College’s bookstore, Connections. Learners will also be able to see their required course materials in the Thesis Student Portal.
ClockWork
ClockWork is an application that facilitates accessible learning solutions for learners that require accommodations.
♿ By working with student timetables on Thesis SM, ClockWork will help College employees provide learners the accommodations that have been approved for them by the Centre for Accessible Learning.
Workday
Workday is a cloud-based platform that companies use to manage their Human Resources, Payroll, and other administrative functions.
🤝 Thesis SM will be synced with Workday, allowing College employees to easily create, update, and manage employee records directly on Thesis SM.
Salesforce
Salesforce is a cloud-based Customer Relationship Management (CRM) that the College uses to operate myAC, process international admissions, and much more.
☁️ The integration of Salesforce to Thesis SM will simplify many of the College’s business processes, such as bursary applications and communications campaigns.
