What’s New in CORE for Education
New Enhancements for Field Experience & Candidate Performance Management
New capabilities designed to strengthen field experiences, improve performance insight, and reduce administrative burden—without changing how programs work.
Field Encounter Videos
Field Encounters Videos allow candidates to record video directly when submitting a field encounter, automatically generating searchable transcripts alongside each recording. Faculty and supervisors can create clips, add annotations for feedback and coaching, and access administrative reporting on recordings, clips, comments, and views, with configurable retention settings and access controls.
Flexible Supervision & Evaluation
Assign multiple supervisors to one candidate with roles, permissions, and evaluation ownership.
Placement Adjustments & Rescheduling
Reschedule placements in a single step while carrying forward hours, evaluations, and submissions.
Connected Systems
Link field experience records with assessment and performance data to reduce duplicate entry and manual reconciliation.
Binders
Automatically assemble longitudinal candidate records across field experiences and assessments (hours, evaluations, forms, submissions).
Integrated Plagiarism Checking
Run plagiarism checks inside assessment workflows—no external tools or duplicate uploads.
Expanded Faculty Role & Site Management
Assign candidates to faculty via site prospector rules and enable faculty to manage schedules for assigned candidates.
Assessment Preview for Faculty
Preview assessments via LTI before candidates submit to reduce errors and rework.
Program-level Reporting & Insight
View program/course/learning-activity summaries and analyze trends using configurable metrics.
Everything is in one place, which is really nice and convenient.

Universities Using CORE Technology Suite
500+ Institutions Trust Our Solutions
There are a lot of valuable features, but I use hours tracking the most consistently throughout the semester. For example, our sophomore and juniors log their experiences within CORE. I can easily see who logged their hours and how many hours they’ve done to make sure the students are progressing. I can pull up the report of their progress within seconds! The students also embrace the comment section to tell me about their experiences. I think that has definitely saved time!
