Developed by our community, for our community.
At AEFIS Academy we follow a community-driven development model. You make suggestions, we listen and consider, and together we innovate! That is what innovation looks like! Innovation begins with ideas, trial and error, and new functions and processes. Your contributions to this development model will shape how we grow as a community her at AEFIS Academy.
Features & Roadmap
Launch of Academy 1.0
In May, when our colleagues at AALHE looked to us for support as they quickly transitioned their in-person conference online, we accelerated our vision of a community service site we planned in response to COVID-19. Following rapid development during May, AEFIS Academy 1.0 was born in time for the AALHE Annual Conference On-Line.
