LA Campus Software for Managing and Growing Your LA Program

LA Campus is an electronic system for managing multiple faculty course proposals and student applications. It also helps the campus LA program coordinator keep track of what is going on in each department and easily generate emails intended for specific groups of faculty or students. The system makes recruiting and hiring straightforward and keeps longitudinal records involving massive amounts of related LA data. LA Campus was built to help CU Boulder manage its growing LA program. It has helped eliminate endless spreadsheets, enhance data security, manage logistics, increase equity, organize data, emphasize values, build community, and support faculty in thinking through course design. In this workshop, participants will work through a full semester process. Participants will submit faculty course proposals and approve them as departmental coordinators. Then as students, they will submit applications to be LAs for specific courses. Participants will then log in as faculty and rate students and send offers. We will debrief the experience together and demonstrate other features such as data access and communications. Finally, we will also discuss the experience that Boston University and other campuses have had piloting the LA Campus system. Preparation: Bring Laptop
