As we build a number of web-based tools on this web site, we recognize the need for training. And what better way to train folks on how to use web-based tools than the web itself? This series has been a big success over the past three years and we hope to improve on that record in 2008-2009 by bringing in some additional presenters and topics.

"Leave the Driving to Us".....

The Building Communities educational series will be offered via live, interactive Web programs which are accessed by the user with a simple web browser and a speakerphone. Using WisLine audio and browser-based software, participants can meet, interact, learn, and collaborate with others from the comfort of their office or home. These sessions are available to anyone who has a phone connection and computer with an Internet connection (requires 2 lines). We'll send you simple instructions for joining the session.

Participants are eligible for 0.1 CEU's per session, or a total of 0.9 CEU's for participating in the entire series. Documentation of participation must be sent at the conclusion of the program (series) to andrea.smith@uwex.edu.
