The Mississippi Department of Education uses GoSignMeUp to deliver and manage their online class registration, professional development and certification. The Mississippi Department of Education (MDE) offers courses that target teachers, technology coordinators, administration office staff (including the superintendents) in the Mississippi schools. MDE also offers CEU and SEMI credits for the teachers to renew their educational licenses annually.

“The most used feature that I use in GoSignMeUp is the Enrollment Statistics Report. It offers multiple columns of information on a course including names of students, number registered, waiting list, status, and, if you need to cancel a student, it has that option. Practically everything you need to know about a course.” relays Betty Ezelle, of the MDE.
Powerful analytic tools play an important role in the Mississippi Department of Education’s use of GoSignMeUp. These robust reporting tools such as student history, enrollment reports, class history, and certifications provide useful tools to help administrators and school officials assess and manage professional development. While these analytics work for many types of environments such as continuing education, common core training, and certification, they are also suited for organizations delivering professional development to K-12 instructors.
Once a student completes their class, a certificate of completion is automatically emailed and this class is included in their transcript. Students have easy access to their transcript of completed classes and administrators can view the history of all students completing classes.
“We are very excited to continue to have the Mississippi Department of Education as a GoSignMeUp client,” says Greg Smith, Vice President, Business Development of GoSignMeUp. “Our solutions are able to deliver a complete package that provides easy class registration, automated administrative functions, and robust analytics. ”
