As KCG expands internationally, Learn Ultra allows the institution to rely on a
single solution to create consistency between courses, connecting faculty and
students across countries with an intuitive user interface that supports
multiple languages and a full mobile experience. Anthology's ability to offer
local support services in Japan and monthly upgrades for feature deployment and
integration also influenced the KCG's selection when comparing Learn Ultra to
other learning management systems from education technology vendors.
"Anthology is one of the LMS market leaders and given the maturity of its
product and scope of clients, we believe it will serve our growing needs," said
Sanford Gold, Chief Academic Officer for Kyoto Computer Gakuin. "As we continue
to blend face-to-face instruction with virtual teaching, Learn Ultra enables
more active learning experiences for our students and serves as the basis for a
modern technology infrastructure to support this change."
Learn Ultra provides actionable and contextual course data to equip KCG faculty
and staff with the right insights to support learning outcomes, while also
helping educators stay aligned to pedagogical best practices. With
communication channels available directly through the solution and flexible
options to capture feedback, Learn Ultra facilitates greater engagement between
faculty and learners to enable student success through deeper connections.
"We recently announced a 30 percent increase in the number of institutions
deploying Learn Ultra courses, year over year, because they see the same impact
on their campuses that KCG is looking to realize," said Yves Dehouck, Vice
President of Asia Pacific at Anthology. "As part of the Anthology product
suite, Learn Ultra is just the beginning in terms of the way KCG can use our
technology to harness data across its campuses."
Founded in 1963, Kyoto Computer Gakuin is Japan's first computer education
institution. It has since then expanded as the KCG Group, which is now a global
education conglomerate including the Kyoto College of Graduate Studies for
Informatics, Kyoto Computer Gakuin Automobile School, and the Kyoto Japanese
Language Training Center.
