Feedback from IU Expand users
We've been hearing great things about IU Expand from our catalog owners and learners. Here is a quick snippet of recently overheard comments!
- Comments from the Indiana Institute on Disability and Community
- "IU Expand is fundamental to the procurement of eLearning at the Indiana Institute on Disability and Community (IIDC). We rely on the IU Expand doorway to the Canvas learning management system (LMS) from the non-traditional student lens. The Expand platform and interface facilitates the autonomous user experience by directing users to create guest accounts and enroll in those accounts directly, in lieu of complex, clunky, and manual administrative processes." ~ Doug Ryner, Director of Information Technology at the Indiana Institute on Disability and Community
- "I appreciate the interface with Canvas and the ability for participants to self-register and pay for courses, as well as receive certificates. These features have lightened our workload and enabled our center to offer our coursework efficiently. IIDC/CCLC is very fortunate to have this partnership, as it makes our jobs a little easier!" ~ Jackie Tijerina, Research Associate with the Center on Community Living and Careers (CCLC) at the Indiana Institute on Disability and Community
- Comments about Why Data Matters, a course from the Indiana Child Welfare Education and Training Partnership catalog
- "This is one of the best virtual trainings I have had in the five years working for the Department of Child Services. The information was useful and thought provoking. Thank you." ~ D.B., Family Case Manager
- "The interactive story was a great exercise. It was very engaging, and the humor was good." ~ T.B., Family Case Manager Supervisor
- "This is a really great and necessary training, both for professional and personal use. The information is presented in a clear way, which is difficult to accomplish on this more complicated topic." ~ T.G., Human Services Consultant
- "I thought this was an engaging training. I appreciated the interactive nature of it and the frequent quiz checkpoints. I found this far more engaging than the typical video/quiz online training we get. I also really enjoyed the click-through, day-in-the-life module." ~ D.S., Child Services Engagement Specialist
- Comments about Bloodborne Pathogens, a course from the Indiana University School of Social Work catalog
- "It's very informative and helpful for those of us who don't have extensive healthcare experience." ~ K.G., Foster Parent
- "I love that the training was more up to date and more geared toward me being a foster parent." ~A.K., Foster Parent
- "Having done the bloodborne pathogens training with the Red Cross 10+ times over the years, this program was MUCH better." ~ B.A., Foster Parent
- "It was focused and informative. I'm a nurse and still enjoyed it!" ~ M.K., Foster Parent
- Comments about Understanding Social Media, a course from the Indiana Child Welfare Education and Training Partnership catalog
- "Although I consider myself pretty well-informed concerning social media and internet safe usage, there was a lot of new information in these modules." ~ G.M., Foster Parent
- "Out of the [Foster Parent Catalog] courses I've taken through this IU partnership, this one had a great mix of visual media, text, and graphics to make the course extremely informative." ~ K.K., Foster Parent
- "I love the fact that it goes into depth about the different platforms and that it gave step-by-step instructions to protect ourselves." ~ M.R., Foster Parent
- "It taught me a lot about apps I previously avoided." ~ J.B., Foster Parent
