Callista will be the first education software company to provide a fully integrated product that
services all sectors of the post secondary education market, be it a university, a stand alone
college, polytechnic, TAFE or a multi- sector institute. This integration will be achieved through
the introduction of Sector Definition that will support the definition of data for institutes that
deliver in one or all sectors.
Inside the core
Unlike other general ERP vendors who have entered the education market, Callista is a dedicated
specialist in solutions for the higher education and vocational sectors.
The approach to designing a Student Management System for our clients involved in-depth and stringent
analysis of the needs of students and administrators and a roadmap to the future for universities,
colleges, TAFE's and polytechnics.
The result is a fundamental and unique approach where, instead of building a 'bolt-on' module as others have, Callista has designed all the new functionality right into the core of the product and the results are exactly what students, educators and administrators have been waiting for:
- all the mandatory statistical government reports;
- designed and built by education specialists for the best fit.
- increases in code lengths at the course and unit level to support national and state codes;
- integration of student contact hours and credit points for Vocational Education Training programs;
- no 'bolt-on' type errors under load;
- reliable and dependable functionality;
- recording of Training Package details and the identification of the "owner" Training Package of a competency and any related Training Packages that include the competency.
- seamless integration regardless of the student type;
- the ability to identify a unit version as a unit of competency;
- the maintenance of all government reference data and institute defined data to comply with the current AVETMISS standard;
Added Functionality
This new functionality is coupled with Callista's existing ability to support the following TAFE requirements:
- competency based assessment;
- complex organisational structures;
- multiple teaching periods;
- multi-campus and off-shore operations;
- student debt management
- rules to govern admissions and enrolments and determine course progression and completion.
