Details of the deal with Salt Lake City, Utah-based Helix were not announced.
Ellucian provides software, services and consulting to colleges and universities.
The company said it is investing in competency-based education programs that offer a promising new way for colleges and universities to reduce the cost and time of obtaining a degree. The company notes that non-traditional students are expected to make up the majority of learners by 2019.
Ellucian’s new learning management system will become part of its Banner and Colleague Student Information Systems.
