WETC 1998 Expands and Refocuses - The 1997 Wisconsin Educational Technology Conference (WETC) was extremely successful, attracting over 1400 participants and receiving very high evaluation ratings. To even better accommodate the needs of the individual sponsoring educational systems, WETC 1998, Green Bay, WI Regency Conference Center, is expanding its format to three full days and refocusing its sessions. The new format will be:

Day 1 sessions - Postsecondary Emphasis (UW and Technical Colleges)
Day 2 sessions - All Systems Emphasis (Higher Ed, K-12, DOA, etc.)
Day 3 sessions - Elementary and Secondary Emphasis (K-12)

The goal for the UW universities and colleges is to focus a minimum of 20 sessions on University faculty, staff, administrators and student needs exclusively and an additional 20 sessions on these University needs and the needs of the other educational systems. Targeted themes for higher education are:

• Using Educational Technology to Enhance Postsecondary Learning
• Effectively Using Educational Technology to Collaborate in Teaching and Training
• Using Educational Technology with Business and Industry
• Developing New Assessment Methods for Teaching with Technology
• Exploring Administrative and Technical Issues and Topics

The deadline for Applications to Present is March 20, 1998.
