Advancing CA Adult Education Model Program Nomination Now Open 

In 2022, the CAEP Office and CAEP TAP recognized Moorpark Adult School for the apps they created to boost student engagement and to address adult education needs using no code and low code, Software As A Services (SAAS) such as Airtable and Twilio. With the number of student registrations impacted by the pandemic, Moorpark Adult School had been seeking to tap into their existing networks to better market their programs. Their data shows that most of their students learn about their program through word of mouth from family and friends. Using low code and no code software, they built an application that is helping them track student referrals from our current students. The way it works is that whenever returning or new students register for classes, they will automatically receive a personalized text message and email the following day. When the student shares the unique URL with their friends and family, the school automatically receives a tally of how many people have completed the online registration using the specific link. Learn more about this model program, including the unique features of the program and their outcomes, by clicking the link here
