NASASPS Partners With Cyanna On Website Redesign

February 2nd, 2011

Cyanna Education Services and the National Association of State Administrators and Supervisors of Private Schools (NASASPS) are pleased to announce the launch of the new NASASPS website (www.nasasps.org).

The new site and logo design were developed by Cyanna – working in concert with the NASASPS Board of Directors – and dramatically advances NASASPS online capabilities.

As part of the new site, individuals will be able to register online for the 2011 NASASPS Annual Conference held May 1-4 in Denver, Colorado. In addition, NASASPS will be able to efficiently manage the conference registration process and site content using a suite of conference and event management tools.

“The NASASPS board is very pleased with the new site and logo design, and the event management system will make it much easier for people to register for the conference and for the NASASPS board to manage the entire registration process. Cyanna’s design and technical team made the process simple and efficient and exceeded our expectations.”
— John Ware, President, NASASPS

The launch is the culmination of the initial phase of a broader effort underway between Cyanna and NASASPS. Future phases of the project include adding threaded, role-based discussion boards to facilitate improved communication and collaboration, as well as features to facilitate online membership application and renewal.

“The Cyanna team is excited about the new site and our ongoing partnership with NASASPS in collaborating to continuously bring technology innovation and improved service offerings to the NASASPS community of members, associates, and partners.”
— Chris Eckels, Managing Partner, Cyanna Education Services

EDlumina Release Announcement – January 19, 2011

January 19th, 2011

On Wednesday, January 19, 2011, we released an update to EDlumina Student Information Management System (SIMS).  Below is a summary of the changes.

Completely Redesigned User Interface

In our ongoing effort to provide our customers with the best experience possible, we’re launching a completely new User Interface design for our CRM (Admissions), SIS (Student Management), and LMS (Learning) products.

The new design takes advantage of some of the latest technologies and best practices in the user experience of web applications, as well as feedback from you and our own experience in your shoes.

CRM/SIMS/LMS is now EDlumina

To-date, we’ve referred to each module of our platform by their acronyms: CRM, SIMS, LMS.

Given that our product is truly an integrated offering, we wanted to have a name that reflected that and also conveyed the value we feel the product has for institutions in illuminating metrics and trends about their institution such as the effectiveness of their admissions process or the quality of the educational experience in creating positive student outcomes.

We feel that EDlumina captures that and we’re looking forward to continue to build our product suite in alignment with that vision.

Enhancements Throughout

  • Platform – Search for leads and students from any page using the global search
  • Platform – Uniform design to reports, tables, fonts, and styles for easier reading
  • Platform – Improved and integrated system navigation on left instead of top of page
  • Platform – Improved and integrated actions metaphor on left instead of in main content block
  • Platform – Personalize your initial landing page on your user profile
  • Platform – Submit support requests more easily using the “Support” link in the global header
  • Platform – Access improved online documentation using the “Help” link in the global header
  • Platform – New Analytics infrastructure for charting and reporting.

  • Platform – Access all system admin functions from a single page
  • Platform – Several performance enhancements throughout
  • Admissions – Flag or add notes to leads directly from the admissions search results page
  • Admissions – Charts added to manager dashboard to quickly visualize key metrics
  • Admissions – Simplified admissions dashboard for easier viewing
  • Admissions – View student contact information by hovering over their name on search results

  • Students – Redesigned student profile page optimized for reporting and 1-click editing
  • Students – Edit student data or add notes directly from the students search results page
  • Learning – Improved integration between Students and Learning modules

Surveying our competitors products, we feel that this interface design leaps us ahead of everyone in terms of the user experience, personalization, and ease of use.  It provides us a very solid design platform on which we can base the growth of the feature set in the platform.
