The University of Nebraska, Lincoln Center for Instructional Innovation, has used Rails to develop tools for the teaching of critical reasoning skills. These tools have proven valuable in teaching undergraduate students and work is in progress to apply these tools toward the training of faculty and staff to correctly understand issues relating to the Americans with Disabilities Act as well as other institutional training needs. This talk will cover the path taken to fulfill this need as well as best practices and lessons learned in using Rails to develop applications in higher-education environments.
