A BETTER WAY TO PROVIDE DEEPER INSIGHTS
Your institution is doing more than ever to prepare students for success—but meeting compliance, financial literacy, and student readiness requirements can be time-consuming and costly.
Watch the video and read on to learn more.
That’s why we created three new Learning Modules designed to seamlessly integrate into your Advantage Orientation® platform. Strengthen college readiness and equip students and families with the tools for a successful college journey through the newest version of the Advantage Orientation®.
Learning Modules are video-rich micro-courses that are ideal as part of your onboarding process or to support first-year curriculum. Each module is peer-reviewed for accuracy and relevancy and is always current. You can monitor participants’ progress, review quiz scores, and analyze completion rates, meaning that each course records a completion date and includes the full report assortment.
We’ve made complex topics engaging and effortless, reducing new student anxiety while ensuring consistency in your messaging.
Learning Modules currently available by subscription include:

YOUR MOST COST-EFFECTIVE VIDEO SOLUTION
Video brings more energy and excitement to the orientation experience, or to your website! Producing high-quality, engaging, and inclusive orientation video content one at a time can be costly and time-consuming. Explore why this university subscribes to Advantage OnDemandTM.
During a recent conference session, John Martin, Associate Director of Orientation & Transitions at Southern Methodist University, talked about the value of adding videos from the Advantage OnDemandTM catalog.
“We pulled videos from the OnDemand option that we felt were a good introduction to college life, the transition from high school to college, and some of the main struggles those students are going to encounter.”
Take a fresh look at the catalog titles and schedule a consultation with your Account Manager for a full evaluation.
