Solutions for Higher Education

Campus Administrative Systems Development & Maintenance

Institutions of Higher Education are in the midst of a revolution in the way they offer instruction and integrate campus-wide data systems. Revolutions can be both bewildering...and expensive. How do online offerings integrate with existing student information systems? How easy would it be to migrate proprietary content systems to emerging Software-as-a-Service offerings? Can administrative systems be accessed from simple web portals and smartphones?

And how can the college keep a lid on long term costs?

Lionbridge offers sophisticated models for building, maintaining, integrating, and expanding campus-wide administrative and student information systems. We work closely with CIOs to establish migration paths to new technologies and Web 2.0 features using both custom and off-the-shelf products.

We also provide editorial resources to move content into new models, or convert textbooks for interactive delivery.

We do this work onsite, onshore--and often leverage our inexpensive offshore resources in Mumbai, Poland, and China as part of our 700+ person Educational Practice. To summarize, our services include:

• Next-Generation Learning Management Systems (LMS)
  
  • Product design, development, maintenance and enhancement 
  • Rich graphic, Silverlight & ActionScript Flash programming 
  • Template-driven (content separated from logic) courseware 
  • Logic-based presentation & response 
  • Multi-lingual content creation & management
  • Links to existing Content Management Systems (CMS)
   
• Student Information Systems (SIS)  
• Assessment Systems  
• Standards Alignment Software  
• Paper-to-Digital workflows 

For every project, Lionbridge offers solid architectural compliance and professional consulting on regulations, standards, and guidelines such as SCORM, AICC, IMS QTI, and SIF. We utilize leading educational thinking such as Bloom’s Taxonomy, Gagne’s Nine Events of Instruction, and Merrill’s Component Display Theory as part of our content development approach. And we are experts in Section 508 accessibility issues.

We can also ensure compliance capability with a broad base of industry products such as NetG/Skillsoft, SmartForce, Blackboad, WebCT, and SABA.

Always, we make sure our clients leverage industry best practices, reusable frameworks, reusable components, specialized tools, and solution accelerators to control costs and speed development.

Simple, intuitive design and reliable execution are ensured by our VeriTest usability, functionality, and performance test labs.
