XJTLU to Use World-Leading Student Information Management System

(XJTLU, China - Dec 8th) XJTLU signed the agreement for the brand new Student Information System this week, in partnership with one of the market leaders, Tribal plc. UK.

Tribal's flexible and distinctive system is already used by near 130 higher education institutions around the globe, including: London School of Economics and Political Science, University of Edinburgh and University of Sydney. XJTLU has now joined this list and in doing so has become the first University in China with such a system.

Mr. Jonathan Garnett, Chief Executive of Tribal Education, described the systems main benefit as increasing student interactivity [with the school] so it becomes a whole management system of the university from recruitment, during their degree, right the way through to when they re alumni. He went into greater detail, explaining how through their mobile phones, students can find out where they have be, when they have to be there, what coursework is due and what marks they get.

The bespoke Student Information System will enable XJTLU to better and more efficiently manage and share student information, with each student having a unique record that includes their personal details and academic performance. This latest agreement shows XJTLU s commitment to its mission to lead and innovate in teaching, research and university management.
