English Language Partners New Zealand, an English Language institution operating with 22 centers across New Zealand, has benefited from increased flexibility to deliver remote learning with Tribal ebs in the cloud.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prior to the pandemic shaking up the way education is delivered across the globe, English Language Partners New Zealand (ELPNZ) had adopted Tribal Cloud Services as part of its student management system (Tribal ebs) delivery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This enabled the language school\u2019s small team to rely on a dedicated team of technical experts to help them with monitoring, upgrading and patching the system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jordi Cordwell, ELPNZ Business Analyst, said: \u201cELPNZ doesn\u2019t have a dedicated IT team in the way that some other institutions have. Pre-pandemic, ELPNZ did not offer any online classes to learners across our different centers. Then COVID-19 hit the world, and everything changed, including the way in which education is delivered and managed.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHaving ebs in the cloud was a godsend during the pandemic. We transitioned to online classes very quickly and also changed some business processes which necessitated some adjustments within ebs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThese changes were able to be rapidly implemented and facilitated the management of our business through this changing environment. Tribal ebs has been very adaptable and flexible during the pandemic which we\u2019ve been super grateful for. I believe it would have been very difficult to achieve the same results with our old system.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pivoting with the restraints of the pandemic<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

With a sudden shift from face-to-face to online learning globally, a negative impact to the education market was bound to happen but surprisingly not for ELPNZ. With its system already set up in the cloud, they were in a good position.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI don\u2019t think we would\u2019ve considered online classes before the pandemic. We now have some learners who have only ever attended classes online,\u201d said Cordwell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The combination of Tribal Cloud Services and Tribal ebs provided several benefits, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  • The ability to get set-up to work from home quickly.<\/strong> This would have been more difficult to achieve prior to moving to ebs as each of ELPNZ\u2019s 22 remote centers had its own local database. With ebs in the cloud, every member of staff was immediately able to work from home and access the same, centralized management system.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    \u201cThe fact that ebs is in the cloud was fantastic for when we all needed to work from home during lockdowns,\u201d said Cordwell. \u201cWe didn\u2019t have that option with our old system. If staff and teachers were stuck at home with their own IT equipment, they could still access ebs and Ontrack to perform their usual tasks. Also, when they did have work equipment, it was just a really simple setup to access ebs and ontrack. You\u2019re not having to download a database\/system to your laptop, everyone can access the system via a url link.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    • Flexibility to deliver remote learning. <\/strong>ELPNZ could quickly respond to the changing needs of its staff and learners, with new ebs features to track and manage group sessions taking place virtually.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      Cordwell said: \u201cI think one of the great strengths of ebs and Ontrack is that they are adaptable, flexible and in the cloud. Nothing is certain in the pandemic and there have been several changes that have come along affecting business processes for us, so it\u2019s fantastic that ebs and Ontrack have kept up with our needs.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      • Adaptability to expand student reach. <\/strong>Pre-pandemic, ELPNZ was a 100% in-person education organization, but it now offers both online and face-to-face programs to learners located anywhere in the country and has the tools within ebs to manage this growth.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

        The results<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

        As an organization in the education sector, ELPNZ was well equipped to handle the challenges brought about by the pandemic, and the organization is now future-ready. ebs delivered in the cloud provides the flexibility, agility and technological advances that has allowed a small team and no dedicated IT department to quickly adapt to the changing landscape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \u201cI feel that whatever the future brings we\u2019re ready with the Tribal products that we\u2019ve got,\u201d said Cordwell.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
