[Solved] SIS to LMS Course Creation & Enrollment
Introducing
While working in higher education we identified the need for an application that could both improve communication between the Student Information System (SIS) and the Learning Management System (LMS) and enable faculty to easily take control of their courses. We wanted an application that:
Empowered Faculty & Staff
Improved Efficiency
Quicker Access
Reduced Errors
The result, Empower, is an award winning product with years of user feedback and iteration baked in. It can do all of the above and more for your institution.
What Empower can do for you
Flexible Course Creation & Activation
Empower stands by its' name, empowering faculty and staff to create courses in the LMS in a manner that best suits their needs. With a user-friendly interface, featuring both drag-and-drop and screen-reader accessible options, course site creation is quick and easy.
Empower relieves faculty and staff of needing to manually activate and deactivate courses in the LMS as the course is starting or ending.

Empower automates the user account creation and enrollment process. Gone are the days of manually replicating user accounts and enrollments in the SIS and LMS. Give faculty, staff and students faster access to the LMS and their courses.
Empower allows system administrators to determine what roles individuals should have at the organization level of the LMS, based on their course level enrollments.
