Idox Launches Latest Open 4 Learning Service Enhancements

Idox is pleased to publicise the release of its new Open 4 Learning student funding portal.

Manchester, United Kingdom, November 12, 2014 --(PR.com)-- Following extensive product development, Idox has launched its newly updated Open 4 Learning funding portal.

The service allows Further and Higher Education institutions across the UK to provide current and prospective students with free access to a funding search tool that helps them to identify funding to support educational costs ranging from tuition and course fees to equipment, accommodation and travel expenses.

The platform now includes the following features and benefits:

· Ability for institutions to add their own news and initiatives, establishing a constant channel of communication with the student community
· Functionality to publish and promote events on a dedicated events calendar whilst allowing students to book onto any of interest in real-time via the system
· Dedicated Learning Zone with key resources and documents that allow students to proactively support their studies
· Immediate publication of funding success stories submitted directly through the portal to showcase positive outcomes for students
· Greater flexibility through stats reports and polling tools to measure usage and return on investment, commit available resources where they are needed most, and support recruitment and retention drives with valuable student data
· Enhanced browse and search functionality, including an improved keyword search tool that highlights keywords within the text for rapid fund identification

Marketing and Communications Director Rebecca Erskine comments, “At a time of rising education costs, Open 4 Learning is one of the most important investments an institution will make. The platform provides an intuitive and cost-effective way for institutions to provide vital funding information to their students, offering dual benefits for both parties. We’re confident that the new version of Open 4 Learning will help UK institutions provide funding opportunities, resources and advice and support of most relevance to their students, whilst supporting their own communications and recruitment and retention drives. We see it as a genuine one-stop-shop of support to our clients and their student bodies.”
