Abstract:
Post-pandemic, a requirement that online courses be certified for accessibility and meet federal guidelines for instructional equivalency created a backlog of courses that needed to be processed quickly and efficiently. This situation was particularly acute in the Radow College of Humanities and Social Sciences, the largest College at Kennesaw State University, and its 11 component schools and departments. Without the availability of increased staff or funding, efficient workflow management systems needed to be established quickly and using software already available at the institution. Team members developed the “Bucket System” based on multiple components of Microsoft 365 to map and track workflows across multiple criteria and multiple reviewers. This paper builds on a previous presentation by exploring existing project management methodologies and expanding on how the team built their framework, software system, and supplementary tools to meet needs specific to higher education institutions.
