“We are proud of CTU’s intellipath™ and the impact it has made
for our students as they start and progress through their MBA
studies,” said Andrew H. Hurst, university president of CTU. “It’s
an honor to be recognized by NUTN, a group so dedicated to the
advancement of higher education.”
For CTU’s MBA program, the university sought to establish a
platform to address incoming students with varying knowledge
levels. More specifically, CTU needed to implement an alternative
to standardized exams, and a solution to increase foundational
business knowledge to ensure students were better prepared for
their futures. CTU saw the potential to leverage its adaptive
learning platform, intellipath™, to address these educational
needs.
“Using intellipath™ in our MBA program allows adult learners to
focus on areas they where they need to improve and allows
instructors to better provide for their students,” said Dr. Gail
Whitaker, CTU university dean, college of business and management.
“Incorporating adaptive learning into the program demonstrates
CTU’s continued focus and commitment to help students prepare
students for a successful journey in their degree program.”
How Intellipath™ Works
CTU’s intellipath™ technology provides an improved learning
experience by tailoring students’ course materials and uses student
interactions to provide a personalized learning experience. This
creates a tailored learning plan giving students extra support
where they need it, while quickly moving over areas of existing
competency. As a result, students develop and sustain learning that
builds a foundation for success both in the classroom and
beyond.
“Dr. Whitaker’s forward thinking and innovative use of
intellipath™ has been a benefit for our MBA students who may need
additional information prior to starting their program of study,”
said Dr. Connie Johnson, CTU provost and chief academic officer.
“Our current and future MBA students will continue to benefit from
this use of our adaptive learning technology and are encouraged by
what they learn in this prerequisite course.”
CTU accepted the NUTN 2015 Distance Education Innovation Award
at the NUTN Network 2015 Conference in Savannah, Georgia. The
conference brought together distance and blended learning leaders
and innovators, and focuses on trends and issues in the online
higher education sector. The three day conference included
presentations from college and university presidents,
entrepreneurs, accrediting agencies and more.
