At a December 13, 2004 meeting, the WebCT Vista Conversion Committee asked more than 100 collegiate/departmental WebVista support/design professionals to volunteer to provide instructors and designers with technical support for the WebCT Campus Edition (CE) to WebVista conversion process. At a November 9, 2005 meeting, the volunteers were asked to continue providing instructors and designers with WebVista support. The volunteers were named University Technology-Enhanced Learning Leaders (UTELL) and are listed below.
Computer support staff members in your college, department, or unit may also be able to help you with WebVista. Contact the coordinator for your college.
Support is also available at the campus level; see the Campus Support Staff page for details.
