Just as the Web presents new opportunities for educating law students, so, too, does it give us the ability to make law school administration more efficient and productive. Professor Amdur will describe two Web-based administrative projects implemented at Villanova last semester. First, all course evaluations are now conducted on-line, via the Web. Second, student elections were conducted electronically, via a Web-based form. Professor Amdur will talk about his experience in developing and implementing these Web-based systems, the benefits of the systems, the difficulties we encountered, and other related issues. We'll also talk about other opportunities for using the Web in law school administration, such as posting student grades, intake of law school admission information, career services communications, alumni contact, and others.
Chicago-Kent has developed several innovative applications including a classroom seating chart that includes pictures of the students and maps of the classroom seating. Will Sadler will talk about these and other projects and opportunities.
