SYSTEMWIDE COMMITTEE USES WISLINE WEB FOR MONTHLY MEETINGS -
The UW System Learning Technology Development Committee (LTDC) uses WisLine
Web to hold its monthly meetings. All of the UW System campus learning technology
coordinators are represented on the committee, so meeting by WisLine Web provides an
efficient, effective and inexpensive way to meet and share information. Committee members
can participate from their offices rather than driving to a central location.

The committee uses WisLine Web to present updates from each campus, plan events such
as a July 2002 conference on Learning Objects and explore the uses and applicability of
new learning software. One recent guest speaker used the sharing tool to take committee
members on a guided MERLOT Web site "tour," demonstrating the uses and functions
of the organization's Web site. "This technology has helped us a lot," according to
Glenda Morgan, UW System learning technology liaison. "It's been very popular with
the learning technology coordinators at the campuses. It's a great way to keep in touch."
The help desk at ICS and the personal email invitations were given high marks by Morgan.
"I've called the help desk a few times and really appreciated that service. I also like receiving
the email invitations Carol Hillmann (WisLine Web coordinator) sends." (Milly Jones,
ICS Manager of Program and Site Coordination)

ONLINE WITH LI - If you're struggling with trying to adapt a classroom program or
course to the Web, consider getting in touch with University of Wisconsin Learning
Innovations (UWLI). Recently Ernest Stracener, occupational safety manager at the
University of Wisconsin System Administration Office of Safety and Loss Prevention,
worked with UWLI to adapt training sessions. He and eight other UW campus managers
developed and fine-tuned the content while UWLI adapted it and added interactive
exercises. The collaboration resulted in a unique course. For the complete story see:
