University Online Users Groups
Please join one of our Users Groups! Our members range from
beginners to advanced users, and this is a terrific way to meet
other faculty users of Vista! Members share questions and
strategies, and compare notes as to what each is doing in the online
teaching world.
Marshall University Online Users Groups meet monthly, and are
open to all full and part time faculty! The meetings provide updates
and information about WebCT-Vista, serve as a discussion forum for
current policies concerning the delivery of online courses, and
include demonstrations of “best practices” by faculty in their own
online courses. This is a great opportunity to learn new teaching
strategies online. No need to sign up - just show up!
