Materials from my 2018 NACADA Region 8 Conference presentation entitled “Small, But Powerful: Using Mobile Devices to Supercharge Your Advising Documentation System.”
Description from the conference program is as follows:
Paper advising documents, such as checklists and graduation plans, while key to advising, pose challenges for advising record-keeping. A lone copy with the student, if lost or misplaced, causes frustration, duplication of effort, and leaves no record for future reference. With the ability to transform paper into electronic documents, mobile devices offer a powerful solution providing enhanced documentation of advising interactions. The session will demonstrate iOS-based workflows for creating, managing, and adding electronic documents into existing advising documentation systems, including shared note taking platforms. The workflows can be readily adapted to various mobile platforms and participants of any level of technology experience will learn helpful tips, tools, and techniques to supercharge advising documentation on their campuses.
