EduLink Designs New Induction Program Registration System for Allegheny County Teachers

New teachers in PA are required to participate in an Induction Program. The Allegheny Intermediate Unit (AIU) provides such a program for new teachers in the 42 school districts of Allegheny County. As part of the Induction Program, new teachers register for a number of workshops/courses in various learning domains. With hundreds of teachers registering each year, the tracking and monitoring of these activities becomes quite overwhelming. Seeking a solution for this dilemma, the AIU approached EduLink to build an online registration system that would track and manage all of this important information. What resulted from this collaboration was a customized solution that is based upon EduLink's core data-management platform. What once took hours to track and manage, now takes minutes.

Parks and Recreation Departments will Benefit from Course Registration Software Designed for Schools

EduLink's web-based course registration software is being customized for parks and recreation departments to allow residents to register for programs offered by the municipality. The web-based software will use the same technology and design as EduLink's Course Registrar software that is used by intermediate units and educational organizations to allow teachers to register online for classes and workshops. Parks and recreation departments will now be able to post their entire catalogue of activities online so that residents can view and sign up for classes 24 hours a day/7 days a week from any computer with Internet access. Online registration will reduce personnel costs as well as printing and mailing costs. Residents will be able to quickly and easily sign up for activities online rather than through a brochure or mailer.

The system allowed the AIU3 administrators to review, edit, comment, and schedule all of the proposals directly into the course registration system.
