OA21: Breakout (4) UniTime: Agile API Creation to Supply Data to Other Systems
Channel: Apereo Foundation
Date: 29/06/2021

Presented by Stephanie Schluttenhofer

UniTime is a powerful tool that contains vast amounts of data related to an institutions scheduling activities. With a little knowledge of the UniTime code it is possible to leverage this data by using tools within UniTime to create APIs on the fly. These APIs can then be used to provide data to other systems or even power Tableau dashboards.

This session will provide a demo of the tools UniTime provides administrators to create such APIs.

The presentation will also include an example of where this ability was used to quickly create a Tableau Course Modality Dashboard at Purdue to monitor the mix of courses providing in-person instruction during the COVID pandemic.
