挑战
Canadore College in North Bay, Ontario, Canada faced significant challenges in managing and utilizing large volumes of data for program reviews and student performance analysis. The college needed a way to filter and present data in a digestible format for faculty and staff. The provincial government collects extensive data on student performance and school comparisons, resulting in spreadsheets with over 100,000 rows. Thomason, the Institutional Research and Strategic Analyst, struggled to break down this data for effective use. Additionally, the college required a system compatible with Ellucian Banner to present their own school data, including application information, key performance indicators (KPIs), and academic performance. The inability to filter large data sets and present them in an understandable format hindered collaboration and timely academic interventions.
关于客户
Canadore College, located in North Bay, Ontario, Canada, is a public college of applied arts and technology. The institution offers over 65 full-time post-secondary programs to approximately 3,500 domestic students, most of whom come from outside the college's catchment area. The college is governed by the provincial government, which conducts surveys and collects data on student performance and school comparisons. This data is compiled into extensive spreadsheets, making it challenging for faculty and staff to access and utilize pertinent information. Terry Thomason, the Institutional Research and Strategic Analyst, is responsible for managing and presenting this data to support program reviews and academic performance analysis. The college aims to improve data transparency and accuracy to enhance student retention and academic interventions.
解决方案
Canadore College implemented Informer Dashboards to address their data management challenges. Informer Dashboards provided a visual and accessible way to present data, making it easier for faculty and staff to understand and utilize. The dashboards are used for various tasks, including three-part program reviews, which cover application information, key performance indicators (KPIs), and academic performance. The application information dashboard displays data such as the number of applications received, confirmations, total enrollment, application market share, international data, funding status, and demographics. This data helps the college track attrition rates, program interests, and recruitment effectiveness. The KPIs dashboard compares Canadore's performance with other colleges in the province, using metrics like graduation rates and the number of students progressing from application to graduation. The academic performance dashboard focuses on metrics such as probation and withdrawals, allowing Thomason to identify struggling students and provide timely interventions. Additionally, an enrollment dashboard updates daily, displaying withdrawal rates, enrollment by program, and residency statistics. This real-time data is crucial for financial planning, as government funding is tied to specific enrollment dates. The Teams function in Informer allows departments to have their own datasets and dashboards, enhancing collaboration and data security.

IoT platform Enables Safety Solutions for U.S. School Districts
Designed to alert drivers when schoolchildren are present, especially in low-visibility conditions, school-zone flasher signals are typically updated manually at each school. The switching is based on the school calendar and manually changed when an unexpected early dismissal occurs, as in the case of a weather-event altering the normal schedule. The process to reprogram the flashers requires a significant effort by school district personnel to implement due to the large number of warning flashers installed across an entire school district.

Revolutionizing Medical Training in India: GSL Smart Lab and the LAP Mentor
The GSL SMART Lab, a collective effort of the GSL College of Medicine and the GSL College of Nursing and Health Science, was facing a challenge in providing superior training to healthcare professionals. As clinical medicine was becoming more focused on patient safety and quality of care, the need for medical simulation to bridge the educational gap between the classroom and the clinical environment was becoming increasingly apparent. Dr. Sandeep Ganni, the director of the GSL SMART Lab, envisioned a world-class surgical and medical training center where physicians and healthcare professionals could learn skills through simulation training. He was looking for different simulators for different specialties to provide both basic and advanced simulation training. For laparoscopic surgery, he was interested in a high fidelity simulator that could provide basic surgical and suturing skills training for international accreditation as well as specific hands-on training in complex laparoscopic procedures for practicing physicians in India.

Implementing Robotic Surgery Training Simulator for Enhanced Surgical Proficiency
Fundacio Puigvert, a leading European medical center specializing in Urology, Nephrology, and Andrology, faced a significant challenge in training its surgical residents. The institution recognized the need for a more standardized and comprehensive training curriculum, particularly in the area of robotic surgery. The challenge was underscored by two independent studies showing that less than 5% of residents in Italian and German residency programs could perform major or complex procedures by the end of their residency. The institution sought to establish a virtual reality simulation lab that would include endourological, laparoscopic, and robotic platforms. However, they needed a simulator that could replicate both the hardware and software of the robotic Da Vinci console used in the operating room, without being connected to the actual physical console. They also required a system that could provide both basic and advanced simulation training, and a metrics system to assess the proficiency of the trainees before they performed surgical procedures in the operating theater.

8x increased productivity with VKS
Before VKS, a teacher would spend a lot of time showing a group of 22 students how to build a set of stairs within a semester of 120 hours. Along with not leaving the teacher much time to provide one-on-one support for each student to properly learn carpentry, it also left a considerable amount of room for error. Key information would be misinterpreted or lost as the class was taught in the typical show-and-tell way.

Scalable IoT Empowering GreenFlex's Sustainable Growth
GreenFlex, a company that supports sustainable development, decarbonization, and energy efficiency, faced several challenges in its quest to expand its business. The company needed to deploy a robust and sustainable IoT technology to support its growth. It was crucial for them to monitor and control devices at customer sites in a safe and reliable manner. They also needed to integrate devices across a range of communication protocols and gather and act on data to meet efficiency targets. GreenFlex had previously built IoT capabilities into its digital platform, GreenFlexIQ, to monitor and manage customer sites remotely. However, they soon realized that they needed a new platform to support their ambitions. They needed a platform that could scale to connect more devices for production management and make it easier for the operations team to manage devices in the field.
