Manage projects, coordinate teams, and master your company with Basecamp

Running a college course

A college course runs on weekly labs, readings, assignments, and dozens of students with questions. Basecamp keeps announcements, field reports, and course materials in one place, so students always know what’s due and where to be.

A college course project in Basecamp with a Message Board, Docs & Files, To-dos, a Card Table, a Calendar, and Automatic Check-ins

Westlake’s BIO 210 posts lab announcements on the Message Board, keeps lab photos, field site photos, and stream data in Docs & Files, and lists the week’s prep in To-dos. Field reports move from TA reading to graded on a Card Table, the Calendar holds the Alder Creek field lab, and Automatic Check-ins ask what students noticed outside.
