Case Study: Cal Poly achieves easy cross-platform diagramming and real-time student collaboration with Lucidchart

Cal Poly - Customer Case Study

Cal Poly San Luis Obispo needed an easy, cross-platform diagramming solution for Dr. Griggs’ Systems Analysis and Design courses. Students were constrained by PC-only lab software, short semester timelines that precluded learning complex tools, and slow, email-based collaboration that tied work to campus computers and limited timely instructor feedback.

Lucidchart’s cloud-based, browser-accessible platform solved those problems with no installation, real-time collaboration, and in-editor instructor review. Students now diagram and work together from any device, receive faster feedback, reuse the tool across other classes, and Dr. Griggs reports streamlined modeling and reduced application‑management overhead.
