AEFIS Data Collection and Workflow Engine Overview
Automate your academic processes, collect accurate 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. Tools that are aware of your academic processes, familiar with your organizational structure, and your users. AEFIS provides a complete platform to automate your academic processes and create dynamic forms, complex workflows and have your users collaborate on those forms providing any type of information necessary.
AEFIS forms for data collection are familiar with your academic structures. AEFIS hosts all of your academic data, your courses, course sections, programs, skill sets, assessment information, and more. With our Data Collection and Workflow Engine, your organization can create dynamic forms that work with the workflows you designed, using visual tools. Your forms are conscious of your academic entities. If you are collecting data about courses, you can display assessment results or ask questions specific to course learning objectives.
Of course, your data collections can be initiated by your end-users whenever they like, but AEFIS forms are also supported by a flexible scheduler. You might automate your data collection process to run every term, or every academic year, using your academic timelines and milestones. You configure the AEFIS data collections once, and the scheduler runs your processes automatically for you.
