12 - 1pm
Law Link Theatre

The ANU College of Law will be transitioning and consolidating its use of online tools and resources to support learning throughout 2009 and 2010. Wattle will be implemented as part of this process on a program-by-program basis. All programs and teachers will be supported to make the transition.

Support for the changeover will be provided by CEIST and the College IT&C Unit. CEIST will be your first point of contact for all educational design issues, integrating the classroom experience with the online experience. It will also provide support and training for all staff on using online tools such as the University's Learning Management System (LMS). The IT Unit will be involved in tool development, trouble-shooting and resolving technical problems. Sandpit sites, information sessions, workshops and one-on-one assistance will be made available in order to help staff to develop new course websites.

Please see the CEIST website for further information about the College of Law Wattle Implementation Plan, training and support.
