PowerSchool Unveils New Innovations in its Unified Classroom Designed to Transform K-12 Education

Industry-first solution places student success at the center of the classroom by bringing together learning, assessment, standards progress, grading, early warnings, analytics, and collaboration in one easy-to-use platform for teachers, students, and parents

Folsom, California (PRWEB) June 26, 2017

PowerSchool, the leading provider of K-12 education technology solutions, today announced major new updates to its Unified Classroom platform. Enhanced with a student-centric approach to learning, the Unified Classroom connects the classroom and home in a single solution. From improved data-driven instruction to a 360-degree view of a student’s performance, the new release enables educators to personalize and individualize instruction to drive student success.

In an independent survey of teachers and administrators commissioned by PowerSchool, 97% said using disparate technology solutions was a significant obstacle impacting their efficiency, productivity, and ability to effectively instruct in the classroom. With the Unified Classroom, teachers interact with an easy-to-use dashboard to view and action all of their key data and tasks eliminating the need for multiple systems. From administration, to instruction, and key communications, the solution is designed to give teachers time back to spend with their students.

“In today's learning, students, teachers, and parents benefit from real-time access to content, knowledge assessment, and immediate feedback,” said Kecia Ray, Executive Director for the Center of Digital Learning. “The easier it is to access real time information related to student performance, the easier it is to improve instruction and learning outcomes.”

The new dashboard also identifies early warning signs of declining student performance such as absenteeism, missing assignments, and any drop in grades. This gives parents and teachers alike a comprehensive view of where students are in their path to success.

“When teachers have to search for information in multiple platforms, it creates a barrier to successfully assessing, evaluating, analyzing, and providing recommendations on student performance,” stated Reinette Chenard of Regional School Unit 10 District in Maine. “The Unified Classroom will give us greater insight into student data to better drive curriculum decisions. It is going to be extremely convenient for our teachers and administrators to dig deeper into the data, create interventions if needed, and monitor progress and student growth.”

The 2017 summer release of PowerSchool’s Unified Classroom includes six major updates:

  •     New unified user experience designed in collaboration with educators to optimize their time – Interact with an easy-to-use and simplified user interface that provides a unified calendar, notifications, events, notes, centralized actions, search, and reporting allowing more time for personalized learning and collaboration.
  •     New 360-degree view of students enabling effective data-driven instruction - Track all aspects of a student’s behavior, attendance, assignments, digital content usage, grades, discussions, wikiprojects, eportfolio, and progress throughout their entire educational career -- from attendance, to academic performance and standard learning mastery -- now in real time, with a single classroom solution.
  •     New unified learning and assessment platform for personalized instruction – Empower teachers and administrators to implement best practice instructional strategies with over 60 item types. These include accessibility, robust item banks, a learning management system with blended learning content from curriculum providers and open education resources, all allowing you to continually adjust instruction to enhance each student’s educational experience.
  •     New early warning and student progress analytics to ensure student success for all - Gain real-time visibility into student performance to identify where they may be struggling based on attendance, student engagement, grades and standard progress to enable proactive positive behavior enforcement, intervention, and individual learning paths.
  •     New student and parent portal with activity feed to drive increased engagement – Connect the home to the classroom – now teachers, parents, and students can all communicate, collaborate, and access the same information and activities in real time to help optimize student learning.
  •     New platform support to securely integrate with other classroom tools - Increase security with a new embedded identity management system to help teachers securely integrate centralized account management and multi-factor authentication with other systems used in conjunction with the Unified Classroom.

“The team at PowerSchool is driven by a passionate belief that unified and simplified technology is critical to empowering educators and parents to help students reach their full potential,” said Hardeep Gulati, PowerSchool CEO. “The new innovations we are releasing today have never before been available as a unified solution in the classroom or home and we believe it will significantly transform the K-12 education experience.”

PowerSchool is showcasing the new innovations at ISTE 2017 in their ‘Classroom of the Future’ interactive exhibit in room 207A. You can also learn more about the new functionality within the Unified Classroom by visiting unifiedclassroom.com.

PENETRON Helps Build Habitats for Nashville Zoo Denizens

The “Grow Wild” phase of construction at the Nashville Zoo at Grasmere – including new bear, monkey and rhino habitats – has just been completed in time for the busy summer season. PENETRON crystalline materials provided a cost-effective waterproofing solution.

East Setauket, New York (PRWEB) June 26, 2017

The “Grow Wild” phase of construction at the Nashville Zoo at Grasmere – including new bear, monkey and rhino habitats – has just been completed in time for the busy summer season. PENETRON crystalline materials provided a cost-effective waterproofing solution.

Protecting concrete exposed to outdoor environmental conditions from deterioration means primarily sealing the porous concrete against the penetration of water or chemicals. For amorphous structures found in zoo habitats that feature sculpted rock landscapes, waterfalls and pools, a crystalline admixture capable of generating non-soluble crystalline networks throughout the cracks, pores and capillary tracts of the concrete is the optimal solution.

“Many of the habitats at the Nashville Zoo with moist and wet environments are the ideal conditions for PENETRON crystalline technology to excel and provide maximum protection,” explains Christopher Chen, Director of The PENETRON Group. “In addition, the non-toxic admixture has zero impact on the sensitive fauna and flora in the habitat.”

Over the past year, the construction activity at the Nashville Zoo included two new animal exhibits and vastly upgraded existing habitats. The new habitats include: a large Andean Bears exhibit, with a Peruvian lodge in a hillside landscape where Andean bears and a few other species live; an elevated walkway through the woods with a tree-top view of Spider Monkeys; and the repurposed elephant habitat that now houses a herd of White Rhinoceros.

PENETRON ADMIX was used by the construction team to provide an integrated waterproofing solution for all water-related habitat areas that feature waterfalls, pools, and foundation structures for the viewing areas. Specifically, PENETRON ADMIX SB was added to all concrete used: for the Andean Bears viewing building in the foundation wall holding the glass; areas where the glass is half submerged underwater; and in the shotcrete work for the waterfalls and pools in all the new habitats.

“Delivered in pre-measured soluble bags, PENETRON ADMIX is easily mixed in during batching and unaffected by climatic conditions, becoming an integral part of the concrete matrix for the life of the concrete,” notes Mr. Chen. “Adding PENETRON ADMIX to the concrete mix eliminates the need for any surface-applied protection systems.”

One of the most popular family destinations in the western Tennessee region, the Nashville Zoo at Grasmere began on the historic Grasmere plantation in the late 1980s and quickly advanced to a world-class facility. The 200-acre site lies only a few miles from downtown Nashville and is open year-round.

The PENETRON Group is a leading manufacturer of specialty construction products for concrete waterproofing, concrete repairs and floor preparation systems. The Group operates through a global network, offering support to the design and construction community through its regional offices, representatives and distribution channels.

All Flex expands its corporate headquarters; provides an additional 3,000 square feet of production space. Supports current growth, anticipated 2018 revenue increase, and customer expectations.

Northfield, Minnesota (PRWEB) June 26, 2017

All Flex, a manufacturer of flexible printed circuit boards and flexible heaters, recently completed an expansion of its primary production facility in Northfield, MN, increasing its fabrication footprint by 10%. With two facilities in Northfield, the company invested $400K in consolidating its headquarters into one location, freeing up needed space for production capacity, fabrication processes, and improved material flow.

In anticipation of continued growth in 2018, the company has completed the first phase of its 3-year capital plan which sets in-motion a plan for a more efficient factory with the ability to respond quickly to customer needs.

Gary Ryan, VP of Operations, states, “In order to continue to deliver industry-leading delivery times, particularly new part numbers, we have begun a multi-faceted facility improvement plan to increase material flow efficiencies between our operation centers. This first phase transitions management staff away from our main production facility, enabling conversion of office space into much-needed production floor space.” He further comments, “Our primary challenge from an operations standpoint is to keep pace with increased production volume demands expected in 2018, but to also support a key corporate strategy of delivering new orders faster and faster. This expansion is integral to making this happen.”

Executive management, accounting, sales, product engineering, and the design team, totaling 25 staff members, were a part of the expansion, which was completed June 9th.

About All Flex

All Flex is a privately held company that manufactures quick-turn to high volume production runs of flexible circuits and flexible heaters with component assembly. All Flex flexible circuits are commonly used in the medical, military, aerospace, automotive, instrumentation, and various industrial markets.

Redline Solutions’ Cooler Software Has New Paperless Picking Feature, That Boosts Productivity for Forklift Drivers

RedLine Solutions announced today that it has included a new paperless picking function in its popular RedLine Cooler warehouse management software for grower-shippers. This new function eliminates the need for a printed pick list, which saves forklift drivers time, increases picking speed and accuracy, optimizes stock rotation, and eliminates shipping errors by instantly validating each picked product against its associated order.

Santa Clara, CA (PRWEB) June 26, 2017

RedLine Solutions, the leader in produce traceability and inventory solutions, announced today that it has included a new paperless picking function in its popular RedLine Cooler TM warehouse management software for grower-shippers. This new function eliminates the need for a printed pick list, which saves forklift drivers time going to the office to collect their next job. The system operates on rugged mobile computers, and increases picking speed and accuracy, optimizes stock rotation, and eliminates shipping errors by instantly validating each picked product against its associated order.

The new option, called “Dispatch Loader,” avoids the need for a forklift driver to go to the office and receive their next order to pick. Now, the office can assign, and push an order directly to a particular driver’s mobile computer, which the driver can accept when they are free. The system can also queue available orders, and notify all drivers that new orders are waiting. Any driver can then accept a new order, on their mobile computer, and start working without the need for a printed picklist, which increases their productivity.

“Dispatcher Loader” also allows multiple staff members to work on a single order. If the order is not completed for any reason, it can be returned to and finished later by another driver.

The driver can also configure the system to display a list of the most suitable product for each order, saving time and assuring optimum stock rotation. Once the driver scans the selected pallet, the system rechecks that that pallet matches the order requirement, which ensures shipment accuracy.

“Paperless picking with RedLine Cooler adds another layer of productivity for your shipping team. Your shipping office can now choose which orders are processed next and assign specific forklift drivers to a specific order. By eliminating the printed pick list, we save forklift drivers time spent going back and forth to the shipping office so they can ship more orders per day. Management has visibility of each forklift driver’s activity levels, leading to greater accountability.” said Todd Baggett, CEO of Redline Solutions.

Baylor Scott & White Medical Center – Grapevine Implements Smartphone Technology to Improve Communications for Emergency Conditions

The hospital is the first in the Baylor Scott & White Health – North Texas Division to implement the technology.

Bozeman, MT (PRWEB) June 27, 2017

Baylor Scott & White Medical Center – Grapevine has implemented a new technology called Pulsara to improve the communication technologies and protocols for patients experiencing symptoms of stroke or heart attack.

The Pulsara platform runs as an application on the smartphones of the medics in the field and each member of the care team at the hospital. The app allows paramedics or EMTs in the field who recognize a stroke or STEMI to simply tap a button on their smartphones, which then notifies everyone on the hospital team that an ambulance is on its way with the critical patient. As the paramedic enters more information, such as the patient’s medical history and vital signs, every member of the team is instantly updated.

In addition to notifying the entire team of basic information, healthcare providers using Pulsara can transmit ECGs, photos and other medical information necessary to the case. Hospital teams can even send a secure chat right to the medics, telling them to bypass the ED and go directly to the cath lab, for example.

“We are thrilled and honored to be able to serve the incredibly talented teams of Baylor Grapevine,” said James Woodson, CEO and founder of Pulsara. “When you have the opportunity to work with a facility that is already so successful, you also have a chance to really make amazing things happen for the patients it serves. At the end of the day, that’s what we’re all about.”

ABOUT PULSARA:

Pulsara is a digital healthcare corporation that focuses on using mobile technology to enhance patient outcomes by improving communication and care coordination through the entire healthcare system. Pulsara’s mobile applications STOP STROKE and STOP STEMI improve communications between the teams caring for stroke and heart attack patients, leading to faster treatment and better outcomes. Every clinician – from paramedics to emergency department staff to neurology and cardiology teams – is on the same page with a simple tap. For more information, visit http://www.pulsara.com.

Brivo Releases New Assessment Tool to Help Businesses Measure Their Security Risk

Brivo, a cloud-based access control systems provider, launches a new physical security assessment tool to help businesses evaluate their risks.

Bethesda, Maryland (PRWEB) June 27, 2017

Brivo, the global leader in cloud-based access control systems, announced today the release of their new physical security assessment tool created to help businesses calculate the security risk of their facilities.

A recent market survey conducted by Brivo discovered a massive gap between perceived safety and actual facility vulnerabilities. The survey found that 61% of facility managers were not concerned about their location’s physical security. Yet 40% were still using lock and key, and 62% used standard keycards and fobs. We feel that this is not a safe approach, especially in a world where technology is prominent and keycards can be easily lost, shared, or duplicated.

Brivo’s new physical security tool provides businesses with a grade based on answers to a series of questions. These questions are specially designed to assess physical security risks in today’s environment. Brivo hopes the new tool will help small businesses better understand the need for increased physical security measures, and is encouraging all business owners and facility managers to use the tool.

“We believe that this scorecard will be very beneficial for those businesses who are looking to better understand their physical security risk,” said Steve Van Till, President and CEO of Brivo. “When armed with the right knowledge, facility managers are better equipped to improve their physical security measures before they are faced with a real problem.”

Although often overlooked, physical security is extremely important. Inadequate physical security measures can result in the loss or damage of hardware, software, networks, data and personnel. While companies tend to focus on cyber-security these days, a breach in physical security puts all other security measures at risk.

Physical security starts with access control and includes limiting entry or access to a physical location to individuals who are authorized. This may include restricting access to sensitive areas and protecting assets from certain individuals. Brivo’s cloud-based access control solution allows facility managers to easily secure, and monitor their business from any device and anywhere in world.

About Brivo

Brivo is a SaaS company offering physical access control, video surveillance, and mobile credentials for commercial buildings. Currently serving over ten million users, Brivo provides a scalable and centralized security management system to its customers. Brivo is unique in offering both access control and video management in a single cloud-based platform that is available via web browser or mobile applications for anywhere, anytime management and control. Headquartered in Bethesda, MD, Brivo was founded in 1999. For more information about Brivo, please visit: http://www.brivo.com.

Tompkins International and Softeon Release New Executive Brief on Distributed Order Management and Warehouse Management System in eFulfillment

Two world class experts address key questions about the technologies and their application in omnichannel commerce.

Raleigh, North Carolina (PRWEB) June 27, 2017

Distributed Order Management (DOM) has become an essential component in managing and optimizing omnichannel fulfillment.

At the same time, new omnichannel requirements lead many retailers and consumer goods companies to realize they must upgrade their Warehouse Management System (WMS) capabilities to meet customer requirements and reduce operational costs in fulfillment centers.

DOM technology remains not well understood. There are questions about how DOM and WMS work together, how they are best integrated, and which system is responsible for each of the diverse processes.

To answer these and many other important questions, Tompkins International an esteemed consulting and implementation firm – Softeon a leading provider of innovative DOM, WMS, and other supply chain software solutions – have partnered on a new executive brief titled, How Distributed Order Management (DOM) and WMS Work Together to Power Omnichannel Supply Chains.

The document is built on questions and answers in an informative, easy-to-read format from two world-class experts in this area, Kevin Hume, Vice President, Tompkins International and Satish Kumar, Vice President, Softeon.

In the executive brief, Hume and Kumar address questions such as:

  • What is DOM and why has it become so important in omnichannel commerce?
  • If we have order management, do we have DOM?
  • How do DOM and WMS work together?
  • If both DOM and WMS are needed, how should the deployment plan be structured?
  • What are the keys to DOM success?

In addition, the executive brief includes summarized highlights of case studies on how two leading omnichannel merchants, one in retail the other in consumer goods, have deployed DOM and WMS to enable omnichannel operations in their companies, meet new process requirements, and reduce supply chain costs.

“These are the types of questions we hear regularly from our clients, so it is nice to provide some answers based on our real-life experience in the field,” said Hume.

“We continue to see companies looking for more education about DOM itself, as well as DOM and WMS together. This new executive brief does a nice job of answering many common questions about these topics, in an easy to read format,” said Kumar.

QuestSoft Triples Clickthrough Rates & Improves Website Engagement with Lead Liaison

Leading provider of lending compliance software, QuestSoft, finds the features of Lead Liaison’s Lead Management Automation (LMA)™ to be “invaluable.”

Allen, TX (PRWEB) June 27, 2017

Mortgage lending compliance software company QuestSoft recently spoke about their success using Lead Liaison.

QuestSoft is the nation’s leading provider of automated mortgage compliance software. The company’s solutions help more than 2,200 mortgage lenders simplify and speed the collection, analysis, compilation and reporting of key lending regulatory report data. QuestSoft is known as a profitable, highly innovative company that has won more than 20 awards in the past four years, including being named a Top Workplace by a prominent local paper, the Orange County Register, for three of the past four years. QuestSoft has also been recognized with outstanding service awards from leading industry publications, such as HousingWire’s 2016 HW Vanguard Award, Mortgage Professional America 2016 Hot 100 Listing and PROGRESS In Lending’s 2017 Innovation Award. In addition, QuestSoft has been listed as the 12th best small business to work for in Orange County, along with a recent award highlighting the company as one of the Top 50 workplaces nationwide for women in the mortgage industry to work.

The main reason QuestSoft chose Lead Liaison for their marketing automation needs is because they provide everything from visitor tracking to marketing automation, and even a free CRM - all in one place. The balance between that, the customer service, and the price made it an easy choice.

Originally, QuestSoft wanted to focus on email campaigns and monitor website engagement. They were very interested in watching who was visiting their website in real time. Specifically, they wanted to know which pages were most interesting to their website visitors. “You make certain assumptions about where [visitors] go after the homepage,” says Scott Mortenson, Director of Marketing at QuestSoft. “We thought we knew, and as it turns out we were spot on. It really helps us understand what people are most interested in.”

What’s even more noteworthy is the company’s increase in email open and clickthrough rates. Lead Liaison can do much more than just monitor website activity and engagement. QuestSoft needed a platform to execute all of their marketing initiatives. “We tested some emails and they did quite well, then we tested a few others and they failed. We went back to the original formula and we've been watching it grow with each campaign. Being able to have those numbers - those statistics - has been invaluable,” says Mortenson. With a professional, easy-to-use platform, Mortenson’s team was able to build communication that had a consistent message, consistent graphics and consistent value. They saw the numbers start to climb.

QuestSoft is also utilizing another popular feature of Lead Liaison, Tracking URLs. They created a unique URL that they placed into advertisements. They are now able to track those ads, whereas before they were blindly sending people to a webpage without knowing if a lead was generated from this link. Tracking URLs gives QuestSoft the ability to measure the impact of their advertising dollars.

QuestSoft will be attending a conference in Florida in the coming weeks, and they are focusing a nurture campaign geared towards their trade show audience. They have a list of expected attendees, and their goal is to drive traffic to their website leading up to the event, as well as increase traffic to their booth. They’re confident they can drive website activity with strong email campaign performance produced from Lead Liaison. Before using Lead Liaison, they saw email open rates of about 10%. Since implementing Lead Liaison, they have seen email open rates increase to 18%. In addition, they have tripled their average click-through rates in the last six months, seeing recent click-throughs as high as 10%. Average CTRs in the technology industry are closer to 2.5%, making this a significant achievement. Marketing with Lead Liaison has resulted in increased appointments at their trade show booth. They expect nothing but the same for their upcoming event in Florida.

QuestSoft’s use of Lead Liaison’s Lead Management Automation (LMA)™ has provided relief for the company, because they no longer have to fret over tedious tasks. They are now able to use that time to focus on building their programs and campaigns, brainstorming with their team, and increasing revenue.

Biodex Releases the First Motorized Lift Assist and Walker in One

New Mobility Assist is the first ambulation device to combine patient lifting technology with patient mobility. Designed for hospitals, rehab and nursing facilities, this revolutionary ambulation aid protects staff and gets weakened patients up and walking.

Shirley, NY (PRWEB) June 27, 2017

Biodex Medical Systems, Inc. announces the release of the Mobility Assist, the first motorized lift assist and ambulation aid in one device. This assistive aid lifts patients safely from a seated to a standing position without staff support using the protection of a safety harness and motorized lift mechanics. The Mobility Assist is the latest in a line of Biodex products promoting safe patient handling.

The CDC’s National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) recently cited manual lifting and moving of patients as the single greatest risk factor for overexertion injuries among healthcare workers. Currently eleven states have enacted Safe Patient Handling laws requiring programs to protect safety of both patient and healthcare provider.

The Biodex Mobility Assist helps to reduce fall-related injuries by providing not only walking assistance, but sit-to-standing support with no lifting required from therapists, nurses or caregivers.

How It Works:

Battery-powered lifts bring a patient from a seated to a standing position in a biomechanically correct motion while supporting and controlling the patient’s body weight. As the patient stands, their center of gravity is maintained. Once standing, the patient can use the support of the device to start walking.

“It’s so important to get elderly patients up and walking to avoid circulation problems and disuse atrophy,” says Ed Behan, Vice President of Market Development for Biodex. “Not only does this product ensure safety of patient and clinician, it gives the patient a sense of independence—which is the greatest motivation you can offer.”

About Biodex Medical Systems, Inc.    

Biodex Medical Systems, Inc. manufactures and distributes medical devices for physical medicine, nuclear medicine, and molecular and medical imaging. It also provides balance assessment for concussion management as well as fall risk screening and conditioning programs. The Biodex commitment to innovative excellence spans more than 60 years.

Unified Compliance and (ISC)² Launch UCF Mapper Compliance Mapping Certificate Program

The new (ISC)² training program certifies compliance teams to use Unified Compliance’s recently launched UCF Mapper, the first compliance mapping tool available to the compliance community

Lafayette, CA (PRWEB) June 27, 2017

Unified Compliance is the premier provider of compliance mapping and the creator of the Unified Compliance Framework® (UCF®) and its SaaS front-end, the Common Controls Hub™ (CCH™). The company recently announced the launch of its newest product, the UCF Mapper™, which allows compliance teams to include any publicly available Authority Documents relevant to their organization, but not currently available in the Unified Compliance Framework.

Compliance teams must be certified to use the UCF Mapper. To create the certification program, Unified Compliance partnered with (ISC)², an international nonprofit membership association renowned for their training and certification training programs.

The Compliance Mapping Certificate Program is designed to prepare compliance mappers for the responsibility of mapping multiple Authority Documents correctly and accurately in a way that will satisfy auditors and regulators, while simplifying governance for their organization or clients.

The training includes multimedia presentations, demonstrations, and hands-on experience. (ISC)² hosts the self-paced, seven module online course; Unified Compliance will host practical-application modules. Students may take up to a year to complete the course, and must pass both the online quizzes and the practical-application projects.

First reactions from a select group who have completed the (ISC)² Compliance Mapping Certificate course have been very enthusiastic:

“MetricStream customers love the Unified Compliance Framework,” said Vinaya Sathyanarayana, Director, Product Management at MetricStream, “and now we can use UCF Mapper to add Authority Documents which are absolutely critical to specific customers, but not in demand by many. UCF Mapper allows us to continue to provide our customers with the best GRC solution in the market.”

Gary Deutschendorf, Vice President Global Technology Infrastructure at JPMorgan Chase & Co., said, “The UCF team amazes me with how much passion you have for mapping…I never thought I’d come across a group of professionals like you.”

After successful completion of the course, participants will be awarded the Compliance Mapping Certificate from (ISC)², promoted to Mapper within the UCF, given full access to the UCF Mapper tool, and (ISC)² members will earn 8 CPE (Continuing Professional Education) credits.

For a demonstration of UCF Mapper and an explanation of the (ISC)² Compliance Mapping Certificate Program, listen to the webinar replay here.

Our scientific approach to overall compliance reduces cost, limits liability, and simplifies the compliance process. The UCF is available via the Common Controls Hub™, a SaaS portal which is also integrated via our API with most popular GRC solutions. Our latest product, UCF Mapper™, allows governance professionals to map regulations into the UCF with the same patented process used by the Unified Compliance mapping team and incorporate their own customized framework into their GRC software products.
