Why Solutionwhere

A single platform that replaces the patchwork of tools, spreadsheets and manual processes your team uses to manage professional development.

One centralized system

Your entire PD operation — courses, registrations, attendance, credits and compliance — in a single platform rather than spread across four.

Less administrative work

Registration, enrollment, waitlists, reminders, transcript generation and certificate issuance all happen without someone chasing them.

Accurate compliance and reporting

Generate the reports your state, board or federal program requires, on demand. Certification hours and credit completion tracked as the work happens.

Built to scale

One district or an entire state agency. Add programs, users and organizations without adding complexity.

How it works

Three stages, in this order, for every customer we have onboarded.

1
Centralize your PD operations
Bring every activity — workshops, courses, conferences, online learning — into one platform. Set up catalogs, define credit types and configure your approval workflows.
2
Automate registration and tracking
Educators browse, register and manage their own PD. The system handles enrollment, waitlists, attendance, payments and transcripts.
3
Report with confidence
District-wide, state-level or program-specific reports in minutes, from data that was accurate when it was captured.

What it does

Frustrated by using many disconnected systems to track and manage PD registrations? Reduce time spent by up to 80%.The promise we have made since 1996 — the software behind it has moved on

Online registration

Staff enrol themselves in Wisdomwhere. Nobody updates a spreadsheet or counts seats by hand.

Class management

Waiting lists, rosters, sign-in sheets and attendance in one click, the way they always were.

Payments

Credit card, e-check, purchase order, check or cash — however your business office works.

Transcripts & certificates

Printable records so staff can prove what they completed, and you can prove it too.

Approval workflows

Wisdomwhere's ad hoc approval chains, as simple or as involved as your organization needs.

Peer 2 Peer

Open sessions to Wisdomwhere partner sites. Their staff register without creating a second account.

Single sign-on

LDAP and Central Authentication Service, so staff use the account they already have.

Upgrading to Wisdomwhere

From CourseWhere or an older Wisdomwhere version — we have moved this data many times.

What the platform does

Course & workshop management

Create, schedule and manage PD offerings across departments, schools and programs.

Registration & enrollment

Self-service registration with automated waitlists, confirmations and reminders.

Credit & certification tracking

Hours, CEUs and certification requirements tracked for every educator.

Reporting & compliance

State, federal and district reports from accurate, auditable data.

Payment processing

Credit card, purchase order, check, e-check, cash and grant codes.

Transcripts & certificates

Educators produce their own printable transcripts and certificates. No admin bottleneck.

A look inside

What the people who use it every day actually see.

What the office runs

Registrations, rosters, payments and compliance reporting from one screen.

In detail

Grouped by who does the job, so you can find the part you own.

The Wisdomwhere catalog

Classes, workshops, online events and conference breakout sessions in one catalog.
Programs built around content or job description — literacy, provisional status, support staff, math.
Structured or free-form, including unstructured activities like reading a book or a classroom visit.
Instructors manage their own courses; locations and presenters are maintained once and reused.
Custom data collection on registration, defined by you rather than by us.

Registration and approval

Group and team registration, plus proxy registration for the office that signs people up.
Class size and waitlist management, with configurable confirmation and reminder emails.
Auto attendance with a code, sign-in sheets, name badges and mailing labels.
External event approval: staff request a conference or a college course on a form specific to that activity type.
Routed to one or more approvers based on event type, cost or job description.
Milestone alerts to supervisors and staff about overall program activity.

Credits and records

Credit types you define, tracked on the event and awarded on completion.
Certification tracking and post-graduate credit alongside your own catalog.
Printable certificates and official transcripts staff produce themselves.
Post-event evaluations collected automatically, so you know whether it worked.
Central PD Registry: a consortium or statewide record of credits earned wherever they were earned, feeding your certification or HR system.
Central PD Approval System: sponsors submit events, approvers dialogue with them in the system, approved events post to the shared catalog in real time.

Money, and sharing across sites

Credit cards, e-check, purchase orders, checks and cash.
Grants and coupon codes to fund or fully discount a registration, with expiry dates and the ability to deactivate at any time.
Peer 2 Peer: form a consortium with partner sites and open any session to them.
A partner's attendee sees the event on their own site's transcript.
Custom reporting tool, plus an API and data uploads to legacy systems.
Accurate statistics fast — the thing customers have told us for years is what keeps them.
