Microsoft Learning Gateway for Higher Education
What is Learning Gateway?
Microsoft Learning Gateway brings together learning, administration, and management tools, within a framework designed to meet the precise needs of higher education institutions. Administrators, researchers, educators, and students benefit from a single point of access to essential documents and resources. These can be shared and accessed anywhere, any time, in a safe, secure environment using an Internet connection.
Learning Gateway can help increase communication and collaboration to deliver an e-learning framework for the 21st century. Teaching, learning, and administration functions can all be supported within a single environment.
However, no two higher education establishments have identical needs. The 'building blocks' approach at the heart of Learning Gateway means you can develop a framework to match the needs and resources of your institution and its stakeholders.
Enterprise application integration brings together the numerous IT systems used in higher education. Data from third-party applications can be integrated and modified with ease, in real time, from a single Microsoft environment. Business intelligence tools help administrators obtain decision-making data from disparate sources, and support transparency for management and governing bodies in a simple, straightforward manner.
To help illustrate how the Learning Gateway framework can support higher education institutions, we have produced a Flash movie and a brochure that explains the issues in more detail.

How Learning Gateway Supports Higher Education
In the U.K., the College of North East London lowered their total cost of ownership, and gained a better integrated ICT framework with Learning Gateway. Administrators had better access to essential applications more easily, while students and teachers can get to their work from outside college, at whatever time suits them.
In France, the INSEAD business school used Learning Gateway to replace an unreliable legacy system with a fully-functional extranet. Administrators could work more effectively, costs were reduced, and developers had a future-proof investment to build upon.
