Student Portals

Student portals used by universities, colleges, and schools are often woefully outdated. They lack user-friendly interfaces, making it difficult for students to access resources and services. Administrative tasks are disrupted by slow loading times and lagging servers. Betty Blocks offers a powerful online platform for designing, updating, and maintaining academic web portals.

Educational portals for students, schools, and universities

The Betty Blocks low-code platform is designed to help university IT staff build student portals directly on top of their SIS software or other supporting IT infrastructure. Building a university-branded portal without code is a breeze, thanks to our wide selection of pre-built templates and drag-and-drop components. Maintainable, scalable, and intuitive, low-code student portals even integrate with administrative software such as Workday, providing a centralized experience for faculty and staff.

Resolve common issues with university portal software

Poor interface navigation and outdated design

Outdated web development practices lead to unappealing frontends, unmaintainable backends, and a terrible overall user experience. Design a state-of-the-art academic portal with Betty Blocks, and give students on-demand access to curriculum information, attendance, performance, and more.

Hard to find student resources

A large number of both high school and college students report that school resources are hard to find or inaccessible altogether. Broken pages, unlinked PDF documents, and dead-end resource archives are common issues. Resolve poor student onboarding by creating intuitive knowledge hubs in your low-code student portal.

No student account recovery tools

Alleviate unnecessary strain on university IT teams by providing portal users with account recovery tools to resolve login issues on their own. Implement modern two-factor authentication, backup credentials, and SAML login methods on your custom student portal.

Legacy portals lack accessibility features

Many educational institutions still run their website and student portals on old HTML frameworks. Accessibility features such as assisted reading and live captions are not supported, causing issues with WCAG compliance. With Betty Blocks, universities are able to create inclusive web applications and portals that support all the modern accessibility features and provide a seamless user experience for all students.

Upgrade outdated student portals with modern features

Use our low-code app builder to promote your school’s educational values with a feature-rich web portal. Create any type of educational portal with ease, whether it’s for a small-scale local college, an online course website, or an internationally recognized university.
Integrate student portals with additional supportive apps such as a class calendar application, a study/meeting room booker, an attendance checker, and facility management apps to help both staff and students feel secure and engaged

login flow

Boost student engagement with a branded university intranet platform

Much like a social media platform, a branded university intranet portal boosts retention and overall satisfaction by allowing students to participate actively in the community. Create a mobile-responsive university intranet where students can stay in the loop about events and developments in and around the campus. Moreover, a dedicated college intranet is the perfect platform to showcase campus life to prospective applicants, increasing enrollment and retention. 

 

Add additional features, such as profile management, where students can personalize their information, manage privacy settings, and leave important feedback for their high school, college, or university to improve upon. 

onboarding

Create a dedicated student environment for school resources

Ensure that students can easily access essential curriculum resources and campus services. Use our Page Builder to intuitively design each segment, build logical information hierarchies, and consolidate repeating fields into a streamlined overview. Give students peace of mind when researching financial information, such as student loans and scholarships, as well as in-depth resources relating to college majors and programs of study. Use our drag-and-drop Page Builder to create unique digital experiences that promote the values of your school.

Streamline administrative tasks in faculty portal software

Many universities rely on standardized HRM software to handle student administration, tuition payments, and internal staff payroll processes. Cumbersome legacy workflows often persist due to overcrowded databases that don’t scale. More often than not, university IT administrators refrain from upgrading to new software versions, for fear of downtime or broken codebases. With Betty Blocks, educational institutions can keep their current tech stack and databases while modernizing administrative tasks with a fresh interface.

Create an eLearning portal with integrated LMS and classroom support

Online classrooms have become a vital part of student curricula, but not all colleges are able to modernize their IT infrastructure to support them. Off-the-shelf eLearning software is often costly, geared towards large-scale educational institutions, or simply might not be the right fit for your use case. Use our low-code app builders to design custom eLearning software and scale with additional features when needed. If you already have an existing LMS, Betty Blocks is the perfect solution to enrich your digital learning space by building a custom-branded portal.
