Swinburne University of Technology partners with Pathify for new digital student engagement hub
Swinburne University of Technology in Melbourne, Australia, has partnered with Pathify, a provider of digital engagement tools for higher education.
Pathify will provide a new digital student engagement hub, supporting the university’s wider plans to create a seamless, integrated, and personalized learning experience for its students and staff.
"Continuing to create a world-class, connected student experience is critical to Swinburne's commitment to enhancing student attraction, engagement, care, and retention," says Professor Laura-Anne Bull, Deputy Vice-Chancellor, Education, Experience and Employability at Swinburne.
"By partnering with Pathify, we take a significant step forward in delivering on the Swinburne difference, enabling us to integrate critical campus resources into a single, personalised platform. This partnership allows us to focus on what truly matters – supporting our students and helping them succeed at university and in life."
Swinburne plans to unify its digital services, including its Student One Student Information System, Canvas Learning Management System, and mobile apps. It expects the new system to eliminate redundant systems including standalone portals and search engines, helping to reduce costs.
The new platform is expected to go live in 2025.
"We're thrilled to work with Swinburne as they lead the charge in transforming the student experience in Australia," adds Chase Williams, CEO and Co-founder of Pathify. "We are committed to helping them create meaningful relationships and connections with students, faculty and staff while improving operational efficiency and reducing costs."
