Case Studies

Workshops & Office Hours

To reduce recurring teaching friction through practical enablement.

Role

Facilitation & LMS specialist support

Timeline

Recurring across academic terms

Impact

Shorter queues; instructors self-serve repeatable tasks

Business Goal

Institutional tools only deliver value when people use them calmly under deadlines. Teaching teams needed enablement that fit real course rhythms — not generic documentation dumps — so that LMS features and web publishing paths felt approachable before midterms and grading windows.

Problem Statement

The same procedural questions resurfaced weekly: grading workflows, plagiarism settings, multisite edits, and upload edge cases for large cohorts. Ad hoc Slacks stretched staff thin; instructors postponed changes until crisis mode, amplifying outages and misunderstandings across sections.

Solution

I framed workshops around concrete scenarios faculties already run — duplicate and adapt last term’s exam flow, reconcile grade columns, sanitize student media — paired with booked office-hour slots for nuanced course designs. Patterns were summarized into short reusable checklists to anchor future self-service. Specific uptake numbers remain internal; narratives and examples walk through one-on-one with stakeholders.
