How higher education institutions can build flexible learning pathways on the Salesforce Education Data Model

Learners are changing. They are returning to education throughout their careers, bringing prior learning with them and expecting programmes that can adapt to different goals, timelines and pathways.

Yet many universities are still operating on systems built around a very different assumption: one student, one programme, one predetermined route to one qualification.

So how do you make flexible learning work in practice?

Download our new white paper, Flexible Learning Pathways on the Salesforce Education Data Model, to explore how institutions can redesign the underlying curriculum and qualification model needed to support more flexible, stackable and personalised learning.

In the white paper, you’ll discover:

• Why flexible learning is becoming a strategic priority for higher education
• Where traditional student information systems create barriers to flexibility
• How the Agentforce Education Data Model supports multiple routes to the same credential
• How courses, programmes, prior learning and micro-credentials can work together within one model
• Where implementation gets difficult — including validation, programme authoring and governance
• Why a modular, curriculum-first approach can reduce the risk of transformation
• How SWPS University is designing flexible student pathways and moving curriculum management from Excel and Word into Salesforce

A real-world perspective from SWPS University

The paper goes beyond platform capabilities to examine what flexible learning looks like when an institution actually tries to operationalise it.

SWPS University is redesigning its curriculum model to better support adult learners, recognition of prior learning, different study speeds and more flexible routes towards qualifications.

Its experience reveals an important lesson: the biggest challenges are not necessarily technological. They sit in the definitions, processes, governance and institutional structures around the technology.

Build the foundation for more flexible education

A flexible student experience cannot be created simply by putting a better interface on top of a rigid system.

The underlying data model needs to be able to represent flexible pathways in the first place.
