I-15: Wikis and WebCT: Sharing Responsibility For Content


Detailed Description:	Wikis change the relationship of faculty, staff, and students to content and its creation. Three organizations at Washington State University - Student Computing Services, Distance Degree Programs, and the Center for Teaching, Learning and Technology - have created a customer support wiki for WebCT help. Hear how wikis break down the barriers to content creation and sharing as you learn about WSU’s use and assessment of this new technology.
Presentation Format:	Showcase
Topic:	Empowering educators: Professional development models and methods
Target Audience:	Course Designers, Faculty and Other Instructors, System Administrators, E-learning Managers, K-12 Educational Staff

Abstract Text:	We will share how WSU is using wikis in new ways to help support WebCT. We will show how we use the wiki technology to track all aspects of our WebCT CE6 migration process, how jointly the 3 organizations at WSU track and build information to answer customer support requests, and how we provide WebCT help information directly to faculty, staff and students.
