2. The Problem…
Learning Technology Services, and other
campus constituents, needed
a better way to keep track
of workshop registrations,

attendee lists.

• Existing products either
too expensive or too
complex
• Vendor lock-in
• Couldn’t find a system
adaptable to our needs
• We had our own
developers!

Appalachian’s in-house developed workshop application,
code name “Porkchop”
