INDUSTRY NEWS: PAPERLESS
DOCUMENT MANAGEMENT
CLIMBING UP THE EDUCATIONAL LADDER Whenever an organization considers deploying a new technology solution, return on investment is always taken into consideration. Typically, implementing a new state-of-the-art system requires a hefty initial down payment, but yields significant financial benefits over a long period of time. Recently, educational institutions have considered the economic feasibility of using document management software. Starting with primary The St. Augustine Record reported that St. Joseph Academy Catholic High School in St. Augustine, Fla., recently initiated a program that allows students and teachers to use tablets as a way of completing, sharing and editing assignments. The school has connected the mobile devices to a centralized paperless document management system that enhances seamless virtual interaction. Principal Tom McGlinn claimed that this paperless system has also allowed classmates to view the work of their peers and edit them in real time. A feature enables them to submit virtual critiques, bypassing the apprehension of openly criticizing material verbally. Students are less nervous about expressing their opinions. "McGlinn said instruction is shifting from a teacher lecturing at the front of the class to instruction where students must dig for information for themselves," the news source stated. The document management software has also provided St. Joseph Academy educators with the ability to conduct active instruction of Microsoft Office applications, such as Power Point. Science teacher Grady Heiss told the news source that although the students largely grew up with virtual interaction, many are unable to utilize the full capabilities of commonplace programs. A collegiate perspective Abiding by the current generation's digital habits, the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs may cease physical printing of it's student-run newspaper, The Scribe. According to The Gazette, electronic workflow is already a regular element of the campus, but a few more transitions could be made. "The student government association's spring election includes a question about whether students want to overturn a 2010 student vote to cease publication in August 2015 and go paperless," the news source reported.

Carole Huber, a professor of geography, stated that her class also discusses ways in which the campus could be more sustainable. As a result, a group of students claimed that paperless document management is becoming a regular part of the current generation's environment and that the university should follow suit. Jesse Byrnes, editor-in-chief of The Scribe, advocated for a web-based publication, telling the newspaper that selling advertising space to private organizations brought a sizeable amount of revenue for the newspaper. _________________________________________________________________________________________ Related Articles: Schools embracing paperless office with more frequency Schools making great strides toward paperless campuses Schools take us closer to a paperless world _________________________________ Ready to kick your paper habit?
