Dear Colleagues,
There has never been a time in higher education when cooperation and collaboration among those working on our academic teams has been more important.
The academic team’s work to plan, manage and execute the institution’s educational mission is absolutely crucial to the institution’s flourishing.
APL was designed to bring faculty, administrators, advisors, teaching & learning professionals, instruction designers and other team members together. Our centralized hub fosters collaboration, greater automation and integration of processes, and increased transparency of information.
During my many years of experience as a college administrator, I recognized that academic teams needed a new kind of software and a new kind of software company. In 2015, APL nextED was founded with a vision to provide a comprehensive, integrated, flexible and affordable academic operations platform and remarkable service and support.

I invite you to schedule an introductory call.
My best,
Kathleen Gibson
CEO & Founder
