Hotchalk’s solution incorporates all phases of the education life cycle to deliver Industry leading student retention and graduation rates. Hotchalk operates the largest global network of free education content on the Internet through the Hotchalk Education Network.
The company believes all people should have access to education, and is on a mission to make meaningful education outcomes available to everyone, everywhere.
Hotchalk’s services address a wide variety of institutional users. Students and faculty at the University partners needed a robust learning platform from which to interact with educational content and assessment tools. At the same time, instructional designers and HotChalk staff needed a content management tool to facilitate authoring and management of learning assets and their delivery to the learning platform.
Hotchalk also needed to give University leadership a real time view of students’ learning analytics. The pressure to maintain on-time graduation rates with degree programs lasting only one to two years meant that for the University to effectively meet accreditation requirements, the entire university staff needed real time student & teacher data, presented in an efficient format, to respond successfully at scale.
