Case Study
Optimizing Data Collection for Social Work Programs
With Exxat, Western Carolina University’s Social Work Program streamlined operations and data management, saving 30+ hours per semester for administrative tasks.
Social Work Programs have their unique set of needs and challenges when it comes to field education management – maintaining large volumes of student records, contracts, timesheets, etc, manually through paper-based systems, tracking field instructor credibility, lack of proper communication with agencies, to name a few.
Western Carolina University’s Social Work program was one of the early movers to leverage Exxat to overcome these challenges.
In this case study, Catherine Allen, Associate Instructor and Director of Field Education, outlines how Western Carolina University’s Social Work Program optimized field education with a paperless data collection system, all while saving 30+ hours per semester for administrative tasks.

“Having Exxat has been extremely helpful in letting us do a better job of tracking and collecting data.”
