Educause is offering a free webinar, "Safely Return Students to Your Buildings," on Tuesday, May 25, from 1:00 to 2:00 p.m. 

The New School opened in a limited capacity in fall 2020 and needed a way to have students reserve space for non-instructional purposes in its making centers, computer labs, and equipment rental spaces. Kayla O’Daniel and Marcus Longmuir will showcase how they selected and launched LibCal Seats, a cloud-based solution, in just three weeks. Learn how this online tool allowed their team to implement—without a significant integration process—a solution with a widely distributed management approach that allowed a reopening strategy that met city and state COVID-19 guidelines.

Outcomes

• Hear how the New School implemented safe reopening policies with a multi-departmental team based on community and campus needs.
• Discover how they used Springshare’s LibCal platform to help bring students back to campus in a limited, non-instructional capacity using an authenticated reservation system.
• Learn how the New School implemented a distributed management policy and trained nontechnical staff.
• Understand how they administered and maintained robust authorization groups despite later policy changes.
