WebCT Vista update

The campus-wide implementation of WebCT Vista is well underway with over 140 instructors, 180 courses and 9,000 students using the system this term. The hardware is installed and running well. Members of the implementation team are conducting interviews and focus groups with students and instructors as we work to improve training and support. As courses will not be running on WebCT CE after the winter term, we are encouraging instructors to move in January rather than wait for spring. For details on signing up your course for WebCT Vista, please see www.mcgill.ca/webct/vista.

Centraide campaign!

As of mid-October, $13,761 has been donated by McGill staff. For info on all of the fun fundraising events, bake sales and products, see www.mcgill.ca/centraide.
