Workshops in e-Student Services
Whether you want to build general awareness about best practices in e-student services among your staff or you want to develop a strategic plan for improving or expanding your campus services, a workshop can help you get your initiatives off to a good start.
Based on your needs, we will design a workshop or series of workshops to help you accomplish your goals. The focus can be on a single student service area or multiple areas and for a single institution or members of a consortium.
Depending on your budget, we can conduct a workshop at your location or via webcast.

About some of our workshops
Best Practices in Student Services Online: Providing Experiences that Support Learners Workshop A WCET and Higher Learning Commission Joint Workshop
June 7-9, 2006
|
In its new Criteria, The Higher Learning Commission (HLC) of North Central Accrediting (NCA) speaks directly to learning environments, the engagement of students, and the support services necessary for student success. Increasingly, the majority of students, including those studying through distance education, expect to access institutions through online resources and services. Through this joint workshop, the Commission and WCET provide a forum for teams to critically examine eight key online services students use and to explore and adapt good practices that will enhance these services. Lead presenters and mentors will provide participants with an overview of good practices and findings based on WCET audits of student services online.
