Education

One academic roof for distance education, continuing education and faculties

Let departments share lecture recordings and materials throughout the term, the distance education center manage the live session calendar, and the continuing education center open certificate programs for sale on its own page. While each unit works in its own area, the rector's office follows the full picture through reports.

Keep faculties, distance education and continuing education off separate systems

At a university, departments share course materials in different places, the distance education center plans live sessions separately, and the continuing education center handles certificate program enrollment and payments its own way. This fragmentation makes it hard for both students and the rector's office to see the full picture. In a UZEM academy, faculties, departments and programs sit in a unit tree; term courses and paid continuing education programs run under the same roof without mixing each other's data.

  • Faculty-based unit tree Set up faculties, departments and programs as hierarchical units and assign courses directly to the relevant program.
  • Read-only view for deans Deans and department heads see only their own units' course progress and exam results, and cannot change the data.
  • Live session recordings in the course Recordings of the distance education center's Zoom sessions are transferred to the video infrastructure and linked to the course; students return to the same page to review.
  • Sales infrastructure for continuing education Publish certificate programs with their prices on the storefront, take card or bank transfer payments and enroll participants automatically.
  • Verifiable continuing education certificates A participant's certificate for a completed program is checked by QR code on the verification page; a revoked certificate shows as invalid.
  • Midterm and assignment workflow Run timed midterms with passing scores and attempt limits, and term projects as file-based assignments, in the same course.
  • Multilingual course pages Enable a second language for international programs and prepare course and page content separately for each language.

Industry challenges and solutions

Problem

In the hybrid term, lecture recordings are scattered across cloud folders and different systems.

Solution

The Zoom session recording is transferred to the video infrastructure and linked to the relevant course; students find the whole term on one course page.

Who uses it?

Faculty Members

Add weekly course materials and Zoom recordings to the course, prepare assignments and midterms, and grade open-ended questions themselves.

Use cases

  • Support archive for in-person classes Keep weekly slides, reading lists and lecture recordings on the course page throughout the term, and collect assignment submissions in the same place.
  • Continuing education certificate programs Design project management, data analysis or language programs with modules, live sessions and a final exam, and sell them as paid programs.
  • Custom continuing education for organizations Under an agreement with a company, give employees a coupon code; participants enroll at the agreed price, and you track how many times the coupon was used from the dashboard.
  • Live session management for distance education Add live sessions to the course flow; they appear on the calendar automatically, recordings are linked to the archive and attendance times are recorded.
  • Summer school and preparatory classes Open short-term programs as separate courses and release weekly sections in sequence with scheduled content.
  • Staff in-service training Assign an institutional introduction for new academic and administrative staff, and information security training for current staff, to units.

How your academy is prepared

When you open an account with this industry, the structure below is set up as a draft; you adjust everything to fit your organization.

7 units · 0 categories · 3 sample courses

Faculties, departments, programs and centers

Set up academic units in faculty → department → program order, and the distance education center (UZEM), continuing education center (SEM) and administrative units as separate branches under the university. When you assign a course to a department, students in the programs below are covered too; a dean sees their entire faculty, and a department head only their own department. Continuing education participants enroll in programs through purchase, so they do not mix with the academic tree.

Sample unit tree

Sample structure: Sample University → Faculty of Engineering (Computer Engineering → Undergraduate Program) / UZEM / SEM / Administrative Units

Your university platform is ready: Under Sample University we set up the Faculty of Engineering → Computer Engineering → Undergraduate Program chain and the UZEM, SEM and Administrative Units branches. Along with the Academic Program, Certificate Program, Live Training, Professional Development and In-Service Training categories, the sample programs Introduction to Project Management (with a final exam), New Staff and Course Design for Distance Teaching are ready too.

Rollout steps

  1. Build the academic tree

    Replicate the sample faculty-department-program structure with your own units, and make deans and department heads unit managers.

  2. Choose a pilot department and a single continuing education program

    Publish one department's courses and one certificate program to test the course flow, payment and certificate steps end to end.

  3. Open the continuing education storefront and payments

    Enter the PayTR or iyzico merchant details opened in your university's name, add bank details for transfers, and publish programs with their prices.

  4. Roll out to faculties

    Add the other faculties and use unit-based reports to track how much each department uses the platform.

Frequently asked questions

The 8 most frequently asked questions.

Can't find the answer you're looking for?

Browse the help center or write your question to us.

Can we connect to our student information system or institutional email accounts?

We do not offer a ready-made connection to your student information system or institutional email accounts; everyone signs in with their own platform account. You can import student lists with a CSV file at the start of the term or send invitations. The ready-made integrations universities can use are Zoom for distance education live sessions, PayTR and iyzico for continuing education payments, Netgsm and Mutlucell for announcement SMS, and the WhatsApp contact button on the continuing education storefront.

How does a continuing education participant enroll in a program after paying?

For card payments the participant is enrolled automatically when the order is completed; for bank transfers, when you approve the payment.

Does a continuing education certificate replace a diploma or official document?

No. The certificate proves that the participant completed the continuing education program and can be checked on the verification page; official equivalence and validity depend on your university's regulations and the rules of the relevant authorities.

Can a dean see other faculties' data?

No. A dean sees only their own faculty and its departments and programs; other faculties do not appear on their screen.

What happens to licenses when the term ends?

Only active users count toward licenses. Simply deactivate students whose summer school has ended or who have graduated; their completed courses and continuing education certificates stay in the records. You can see plans with capacity that fits the total active count of faculty students and continuing education participants on the Pricing page, or request a quote from us for high capacity.

Can we offer English content for international students?

Yes. You can enable more than one language in the academy and prepare course and page content for each language; content is not translated automatically.

How do departments bring over archived lecture recordings and notes?

Upload lecture videos from previous terms from the admin dashboard, and attach lecture notes and reading lists to the relevant course as PDFs or files. Midterm questions are entered into the question bank; there is no feature for importing ready-made course packages from another learning platform.

Can we set up the faculty and department structure in bulk?

Yes. You can bulk-upload faculty, department and program units, and which unit each student belongs to, with a CSV file; the import is processed in the background and invalid rows are shown in a summary.
