SCENARIO:
Washington University School
of Law, one of the nation’s top law
schools, had a need to streamline the
creation of student seating charts.
Student seating charts are created to
ensure classroom participation and
attendance.
ISSUE:
In the past, charts were prepared by
manually cutting and pasting student
pictures and names to a classroom
layout. Obviously, problems would arise
as students dropped or added courses.
Washington University School of Law
wanted to simplify the process by
utilizing custom software linked with
the SIS (Student Information System) to
efficiently generate seating charts.
OUR APPROACH:
We proposed seatGEN, a customized online
student seating chart with point and
click capabilities.
The design utilizes a web based
interface and links with live student
information to update charts as students
added or dropped classes.
RESULTS:
AppointLink delivered an online product
that allowed administration to reduce
chart creation time from 2.5 hours to
less than 15 minutes per class. It
created an enhanced look and printout
for all classroom layouts to better
serve professors.
VALUE:
The result greatly reduced
administrative costs related to the
seating chart creation process. The
application saved over 470 hours a year
in administrative costs and time. |

“The amount of time saved is
huge. A seating chart consisting
of 120 students used to take a
minimum of 2-3 hours to make;
with the new system it now takes
15 minutes or less.”
