Manage experiential learning in one place: APL nextED’s Site-Based Learning Module
APL nextED’s integrated experiential learning management module streamlines workflows and brings students, supervisors, affiliate organizations and program directors together to collaborate. These features ensure legal, programmatic, and institutional accreditation compliance and documentation to reduce liability exposure and make reporting easy.
As schools respond to greater demand for experiential learning and professional programs, providing a single place to navigate processes like assignments, applications, affiliation agreements, compliance reporting, and program requirements is an important part of ensuring a positive experience for all stakeholders.

PROVIDE A BETTER EXPERIENCE FOR ALL STAKEHOLDERS
Program Directors and Faculty: Program Directors and faculty can easily and efficiently manage and report on all the facets of offering experiential learning courses. APL nextED provides a one-stop-shop for academic and administrative users to view workflow statuses, student and supervisor data, compliance documents, and agreements and contracts.
Supervisors: Site supervisors connect with students in the platform and have access to student and course information. Plus, administrative tasks are managed in automated workflows, giving supervisors more time for students and better experiences for supervisors and students alike.
