[Vpaaetal] Educator/WebCT Vista Meeting locations -- Commerce and Mesquite

[vpaaetal@TAMU-Commerce.edu]

Greetings, everyone --

The Thursday afternoon session with representatives from Educator and 
from WebCT Vista will be held in IT 233, one of our distance ed 
rooms.  Therefore, it will also be available, via videoconferencing, 
to faculty and students in Mesquite, in Room 135.

As Provost Scott had announced in her message a week ago,
The Texas A&M University System is considering the purchase of WebCT 
Vista (an academic enterprise online course management system) and we 
have been asked if we want to participate in this initiative.  This 
is a critical issue for our institution and one which requires 
broad-based input from faculty and students.  Many of you have 
invested time and energy in preparing online and web-supported 
courses using Educator, and the input I have received is that most of 
you are pleased with this system.  Therefore, I have asked the 
academic and student affairs technology committee, chaired by Sue 
Espinoza, to analyze the proposal, solicit input from all 
stakeholders, and provide me with a recommendation by October 11th. 

We are requesting your participation and input, and encourage you to 
attend either the Commerce or Mesquite demonstration and 
question/answer session on Thursday, July 30, from 1-3.  Commerce 
will meet in IT 233, and Mesquite will meet in MPLX 135.

See you there.
