SKKU Opens Challenge Square for Systematic Management of Students’ Learning Outcomes

- Systematically manages learning outcomes of students' extracurricular activities for their academic years
- Builds an effective career roadmap and university life by identifying students' abilities

SKKU announced that it opened Challenge Square, a Student Success Portfolio system, in order to systematically manage learning outcomes of students' extracurricular activities on September 1 (Tue).

Challenge Square is a comprehensive computer support system that integrates and manages internal and external learning outcomes throughout the entirety of students' academic careers. It systematically manages students' extracurricular activities such as club activities, volunteer activities, scholarships, international exchanges, mentoring, contests, seminars, etc.

SKKU plans to help students entering the workforce and support their successful university lives by analyzing the factors that contributed to their success through Challenge Square's big data.

Students can use this system to manage their learning outcomes as well as look back on their own capabilities by comparing and analyzing other students' data. They can also systematically prepare for their careers by checking the status of their extracurricular activities and comparing the average GPA with other students in the same department and in the same grade. In addition, they can examine the possibility of receiving scholarships in advance.

By using this system, students can effectively design their university lives because they can see their strengths and weaknesses at a glance. Moreover, students can further build a career roadmap that suits them based on comprehensive career information.

Dongwook Kim, Vice President of Academic Affairs, said, "Until now, students' data has tended to be managed with a focus on grades and curricula. Through Challenge Square, it will provide a foundation for students to design their university lives more effectively and help entering society by establishing a database of their curricular/extracurricular activities throughout the entire academic year."
