Preparing for the Return to Campus
Students want on-campus experiences again. Faculty and staff need support after a long COVID stretch. APL nextED helps your institution plan, prioritize, and make the return better than before.
What We Know
A few things are true as we plan for what comes next
Students Want Campus Experiences
Learners are asking for in-person experiences again — which means institutions have to reimagine how campus spaces are designed, assigned, and used.
Faculty & Staff Need Support
After navigating the pandemic, faculty, staff, and administrators need additional resources, connection, and tools that make their daily work easier.
This Is a Chance to Reset
Academic leaders who plan and use their resources efficiently can build a new normal that actually improves the student, faculty, and administrator experience.
How APL Can Help
Plan for new requirements and new needs
APL nextED is a comprehensive academic operations hub where faculty, staff, and administrators can connect, share information and resources, automate processes, and centralize information for full transparency.
Whether your teams are on campus, remote, or somewhere in between, APL nextED keeps everyone aligned — with the data and workflows they need in one place.
Three Ways APL Helps
From campus spaces to the faculty experience
Reimagine Your Campus Spaces
Assign classrooms, meeting rooms, and offices with confidence. APL's Building Management feature adjusts room capacities and keeps workspaces flexible as requirements evolve.
Centralize Support & Connection
Give your faculty, staff, and administrators one place to find resources, connect with peers, and collaborate — no matter where they're working from.
Enhance the Faculty Experience
Eliminate manual processes, redundant spreadsheets, and disconnected point solutions. Bring your whole academic team together in one platform.
Flexible Staffing & Workload
As class sizes shift, APL's staffing module manages faculty workload, course delivery, student-faculty ratios, and section enrollment capacity.
Share Resources & Training
Teaching resources, professional development, and training can be shared through the platform — making it easy to support your team remotely or on-site.
Break Down Silos
Eliminate inefficient processes and point-solution sprawl. Bring your academic team together in APL's comprehensive operations platform.
