The use of APIs within the Canvas LMS has opened the doors to automate many arduous tasks. This session will cover ways that the School of Veterinary Medicine has used those APIs to:

We all know that writing reports or making pretty graphs can only take you so far. Let’s show you what happens when you engage your stakeholders with dynamic graphs that can responsively represent your data the right way. Learn tips and tricks on how data can be visualized to help guide you in your decision making. Finally, we will uncover some of our lessons learned and things to avoid from past use cases.
This session will present an overview of a "Kaizen Event" experience at UCSB intended to identify improvements to our Work Ticket Management System. Kaizen is Japanese for “Good Change” and “is the practice of continuous improvement”. Over an intensive 3 day period, we analyzed a routine work request - fix flooding in a locker room. Our work flow went from (“Best Case”) 49 steps (and 2 to 4 weeks to complete) to 18 steps. A 63% decrease of people steps! See a 50-Foot Flow Chart!
Have you ever launched a product that did not have a happy ending? Have you ever started a project but somewhere along the way lost sight of why you were actually doing it? As product managers, designers, and developers, we have diverse definitions about what makes a product successful or meaningful. This workshop is an opportunity to come to a common understanding of the real value you are creating with your product and how to carry that value throughout the product lifecycle in a collaborative team environment.
When UC Irvine realized that advisors had access to the right data in the wrong way, we harnessed business intelligence tools to provide richer and more timely reporting through a new self-service application called Compass. In this presentation we will explore how business analysis, advisor interviews, and user experience design were employed to bring about student data reporting tools that met the real needs of campus advising units.
Last summer a brand new Learning Tools Interoperability (LTI) application was rolled out at UCSF to connect students using our learning management system (Moodle) to their class schedules. Leveraging the LTI standard, Amazon’s Lambda serverless architecture, and the Ilios REST API this integration was built and rolled out in just few weeks with mission critical reliability and scalability.
Researchers are producing data at an unprecedented rate. Once they publish, that data often gets tossed, lost or stored on a server under their desk. How do you bridge the gap between becoming a dumping ground for unstructured raw data and the place where you can collaborate with a research group to curate and distribute their data in our Digital Asset Management System? This session will cover how we set up a staging server with half a petabyte of capacity to capture research data and assist researchers and curators to collaborate on a shared platform.
