Abstract

How do you offer technology education to 2000+ students, staff and faculty in a timely and resource-saving way and maintain quality and relevance? WSU Vancouver Information Services (VIS) began offering free technology workshops to small groups of students more than 10 years ago. The challenges of offering relevant technology training to increasing numbers of students, staff and faculty include finding instructors, providing good documentation and scheduling the large number of offerings. VIS has met these challenges in interesting ways. VIS is moving beyond the boundaries of traditional technology education to expand opportunity, skill and experience to the students, staff and faculty of WSU Vancouver.
