2024-2025 Innovation of the Year Award Winner: Collin College

CourseVite

Launched in June 2022, the CourseVite pilot streamlines Collin College adjunct staffing by integrating course schedules, faculty preferences, and faculty credentials. Faculty input their preferences (e.g., location, day/time, course), enabling staff to efficiently match qualified instructors to open classes, avoid scheduling conflicts, and access subject-specific faculty lists. Adjuncts then receive 24-hour invitations to specific classes. They can accept or decline each offer from multiple locations, thereby granting them greater schedule control than the previous single-campus system. This broadens teaching opportunities, allowing offers from any campus, while providing staff with a comprehensive view of available instructors. The pilot expands teaching opportunities beyond single-campus relationships, benefiting both adjuncts and staff. User feedback drives ongoing feature updates, ensuring continuous improvement. Recent feature requests include displaying the last time a faculty taught a course or logged into the CourseVite system.
