Sample applications
The education accelerator encompasses two components: education data model and sample applications. The education data model includes concepts for both higher education (i.e. tertiary education) and K-12 education (i.e. primary and secondary education) in a single data model. The sample applications are designed to show use cases of the data model and help partners deliver solutions to their customers faster. Some of the sample applications are contextualized specifically for higher education scenarios, and some of the sample applications and sample data are contextualized specifically for K-12 education.
The education accelerator includes the following sample applications that are contextualized for higher education:
The education accelerator includes the following sample applications that are contextualized for K-12 education:
These sample applications are described in more detail below.
Higher education portal
The sample higher education portal was created with Microsoft Power Pages. The portal allows students to access relevant university information, personal course history and achievements, grant application status, and scholarships available and applied to. Students can also view their courses and assignments, and create and manage appointments with their advisor.
Higher education app
The sample higher education app was created with a Power Apps model-drive application. This app provides the administrator experience for the higher education portal described in the previous section. It also includes forms and dashboards that enable educators, advisors, administrators, and other staff members to gain insights from multiple sources of data in a single location.
Program registration portal
The sample program registration portal was created with Microsoft Power Pages. This portal enables registration for different education-related programs such as tutoring services, sports teams, and community service opportunities. The portal can be adopted as a “standalone” portal or integrated with the higher education portal.
Program management app
The sample program management app was created with a Power Apps model-drive application. This app provides the administrator experience for the higher education portal described in the previous section.
K-12 portal
The sample K-12 portal was created with Microsoft Power Pages. It allows both the parent and student access to the student’s information. From attendance to grades, it facilitates clear conversations about progress made by students with the parents and guardians who support their students.
K-12 app
The sample K-12 app was created with a Power Apps model-drive application. This app provides the administrator experience for the K-12 portal described in the previous section. It also includes forms and dashboards that enable educators, advisors, administrators, and other staff members to gain insights from multiple sources of data in a single location.
Archived applications
Previous versions of the education accelerator also included an institutional dashboard, business partner dashboard, attendance Power BI dashboard, grants phone app, donor management app, student behavior management app, and attendance app. These apps are no longer maintained, but the solution files can still be downloaded for free from GitHub with an open source license.
Additional resources
The sample applications, installation guide, and other technical documentation can be downloaded for free from GitHub with an open source license. Additional screenshots and contextual descriptions of the sample application features can be found in the Education Accelerator Walkthrough Guide document in the GitHub repository.
