About studentforce
“What will be the most important technology to change higher education? In our view, it’s not big data, the social web, MOOCs, virtual reality, or even artificial intelligence. We see these as components of something new, all enabled and transformed by an emerging technology called the blockchain”. From , ‘The Blockchain and Higher Education’ by Don Tapscott & Alan Tapscott – March 2017
A proliferation of alternative education distribution models (MOOCs, On-Line courses, Hybrids, Study Abroad and Salesforce Trailhead) have created SILOs of academic activity and achievement data that students must track. Built upon salesforce.com, studentforce is a 100% NATIVE & 100% DECLARATIVE platform extension designed to serve student users. By providing students full PLATFORM access they will no doubt encourage exponential adoption among themselves while inspiring Higher Ed to implement platform solutions for challenges faculty and business users face daily.
There exists no other intuitively qualified user group than students to spark Higher Education’s [r]evolution into the cloud through the intelligent use of SaaS [studentforce] + Collaboration [Chatter] + Mobile. By leveraging tools students currently use and are easily accessed now through any connected device, students manage day-to-day activities, track assignments and projects, organize career and financial related endeavors and collaborate with faculty, staff, and one another.
“… And I have become convinced that the most revolutionary force for change is the students themselves. Give children [students] the tools they need and they will be the single most important source of guidance on how to make the schools relevant and effective” Don Tapscott, 1999
