Data Collection and Workflow Engine Overview

Automate your processes, collect relevant information from your organization using powerful, visual tools, that work the way your institution works.

For digital transformation, you need simple tools that are aligned with the way your institution works. These are tools that support and enhance your processes, familiar with your organizational structure, and your users. AEFIS (now HelioCampus Assessment) provides a complete platform to automate your assessment and improvement processes and design dynamic forms, specific workflows empowering your users collaborate with you on assessment initiatives including closing the loop, program and peer review, continuous improvement and accreditation.

HelioCampus Assessment platform hosts your academic data, courses, course sections, programs, skill sets, assessment information, and more. With our Data Collection and Workflow Engine which is part of HelioCampus Annual Assessment Planning+Reporting, your organization can design dynamic forms and workflows that support your collection of key assessment data from your stakeholders. If you are collecting data about courses, or programs, you can display assessment results, key performance indicators and/or ask questions specific to course learning objectives.

Of course, your data collections can be initiated by your end-users whenever they like, but HelioCampus forms are also supported by a flexible scheduler. You might automate your data collection process to run every term, or every year, using your specific timelines and milestones. You configure your data collections once, and the scheduler runs your processes automatically for you.
