TEDU

TITLE SPONSOR

TEDU’s Learning Support System is a next-generation student support infrastructure for higher education. The platform unifies every academic support program, including supplemental instruction, tutoring, writing studios, academic coaching, workshops, and study groups, into a single system that replaces fragmented, decades-old processes. Students get a personalized gateway to every resource available to them. Administrators get real-time engagement data to measure what’s working, identify where students are falling through the cracks, and make smarter decisions about how support is delivered across campuses.

TEDU is the exclusive and proud technology partner of the International Center for Supplemental Instruction (ICSI).

National Resource Center for the First-Year Experience and Students in Transition

Building upon its history of excellence as the founder and leader of the first-year experience movement, the National Resource Center for The First-Year Experience and Students in Transition serves education professionals by supporting and advancing efforts to improve student learning and transitions into and through higher education.

We achieve this mission by providing opportunities for the exchange of practical and scholarly information as well as the discussion of trends and issues in our field through the convening of conferences and other professional development events such as workshops, and online learning opportunities; publication of scholarly practice books, research reports, a peer-reviewed journal, electronic newsletters, and guides; generating, supporting, and disseminating research and scholarship; hosting visiting scholars; and maintaining several online channels for resource sharing and communication, including a dynamic website, listservs, and social media outlets.

We see supplemental instruction as an ecosystem of the first-year experience and other key transition points and are excited to partner with the International Center for Supplemental Instruction to expand our resources out to the SI community.

CircleIn

SI teams thinking about how to increase SI to student engagement partner with CircleIn to power communication between the two. USC, University of Alabama, UMKC and others have found compelling results increasing course pass rates within a semester of launching CircleIn. Now CircleIn is doing even more to expand SI engagement with their AI SI initiative. SI’s can train the CircleIn AI to help students whenever the SI is not available to increase SI impact.
