Short Business Description:
Academic Keys offers affordable, customized academic search services for faculty, staff, and executive positions. Our searches are priced considerably lower compared to other conventional search firms. Within each specialized program, we work to ultimately place the ideal candidate(s) to ensure a strong fit and long-term partnership.
Long Business Description:

Academic Keys is a comprehensive academic search firm that supports excellence in Higher Education. We are a group of academics and administrators who founded Academic Keys in 2002. Having been involved in academic searches at our colleges and universities, we felt search firm fees were unnecessarily exorbitant. As academics, we believe that funds are better invested elsewhere: in providing quality education. In this effort to provide quality education for all, we are dedicated to finding the most mutually beneficial partnerships for our clients. We are fully committed to, and embrace, a diverse and international clientele.

We are fully committed to sourcing a culturally rich and diverse candidate pool. Academic Keys is proud to have placed both women and minority candidates in ten of our recent searches. Each of our searches includes diversity advertising. We make every effort to deliver the most talented and diverse candidates to our clients. Our diversity advertising spans all classifications in the EEO-1, as well as protected veterans.
Our extensive database of more than one million potential candidates allows us to quickly source qualified applicants to ensure a timely search. We additionally source passive candidates through research, personal and professional networks, and a strong social media presence. Our streamlined process begins with a discussion to determine university goals, needs, and timelines.

Discover New Insights About Your Students’ Learning!
Long Business Description:

In order to guide student learning, and improve learning outcomes, learning data must be actionable. One of the most powerful features of Acrobatiq courseware is the embedded formative assessment and feedback in each learning activity – called Learn By Doing and Did I Get This? activities. As students engage with these instructional elements online, they produce a rich data stream on the learning process. Research has shown that such data – when combined with our understanding of how learning works – can be used to improve and personalize learning. As students are learning, we are learning about students – and using the data to optimize their learning experience.

Ad Astra
Address: 6900 W. 80th St.
Overland Park, KS
USA
Short Business Description:
Helping colleges and universities progress more students by getting the right resources in the right place at the right time.
Long Business Description:

Tom Shaver launched Ad Astra in 1996, he understood that space management was both critically important and incredibly complex. However, measuring space utilization alone wasn’t enough. First, it was clear that measurement didn’t improve utilization; it simply confirmed the need to improve. Second, space was only part of the equation. Scheduling needed to be embraced as a way to not only allocate space, but also faculty resources; to deliver instruction, and to enable students to graduate on time. Shaver has led Ad Astra with this insight over the last 20 years, developing a suite of solutions designed to optimize space allocation and resource capacity within the scheduling process.
Ad Astra has collaborated with more than 1,000 higher education campuses and state systems that prioritize the stewardship of instructional resources and improved student outcomes.
