ZAP Showcase vs CA Dashboard

This app showcases the Larry Sautter Awards that are given out as IT innovation awards across the University of California. It features the winners from the last year, but also shares the history of the award and the previous award winners. Each year at the system wide technology conference, a new set of awards are given out and celebrated. In addition, there is some basic background information about the award under a Frequently Asked Questions ( FAQ) button and also some information on how to apply for an award. Finally there is the ability for the app to receive push messages, regarding the award announcements.

The CA Dashboard mobile app provides easy access for parents and educators on school and district progress so they can participate in decisions to improve student learning. Californians can use the CA Dashboard mobile app to easily access information based on the California School Dashboard. The Dashboard is California’s new accountability system and helps parents and educators identify strengths and areas for improvement. Through the Dashboard, California reports how districts, schools (including alternative schools serving high-risk students), and student groups are performing across state measures and responding to local indicator measures.
