How a clinical coordinator uses Lumin for university grading

As well as being the founder of Integrative Music Services, a New Orleans practice that delivers music therapy, Ashlie works as a clinical coordinator at Loyola University New Orleans where she supervises studies to support music therapy students.

The challenge: university paperwork without the corporate tech stack

Documentation from Ashlie's students would arrive as uneditable PDFs, often with the formatting scrambled somewhere along the way. She needed an intuitive, accessible method to grade assignments, leave feedback, and turn around agreements, without taking on a heavy admin load.

“I checked out Lumin, and it has been really user-friendly.”

The solution: cloud annotations with no fuss

Ashlie made Lumin her cloud-based PDF hub where she reviews coursework, leaves comments, and embeds signatures straight from her personal device. As someone who claims to not be particularly tech-savvy, Ashlie was up and running in just a few clicks.

Providing feedback and comments via Lumin have become central to how Ashlie teaches.

"I spend a lot of my time adding and editing comments because I'm very particular about clinical writing. It's so nice because you just scroll over the comment afterwards and it's right there for you.”

Before Lumin, university paperwork was a lengthy process and involved downloading each student file, handwriting feedback, manually signing contracts by hand and scanning everything back in. With Lumin, grading, feedback, and signing all happen in one place, meaning students get started sooner, documents are stored conveniently, and feedback is accessible.

Why Ashlie recommends Lumin

For Ashlie, the value is unparalleled. With an affordable price and intuitive software that works the way she does, Lumin leaves her free to focus on clients and students’ work, rather than her tools.

"I would definitely say it's really cost-effective. Everything I've ever used with Lumin has been really simple."
