Wesleyan Cruising with CampusCruiser

Fall 2002 marked the College’s unveiling of its new Internet portal, CampusCruiser, which provides faculty, staff, and students personalized web accounts, featuring online campus news, email accounts, and virtual management systems for all their courses.

Getting people to try new technology can sometimes be a difficult and slow process, but many members of the Wesleyan community have readily adopted CampusCruiser as part of their teaching-learning experience. According to Weimin Wang, Wesleyan Instructional Technologist, use of CampusCruiser increased impressively over the term: the number of bi-weekly users rose from 405 in August to 824 in  December. He expects that figure to increase as more faculty, staff, and students catch on to the benefits of using CampusCruiser

NCWC 's WebAdvisor Makes Debut

As part of Title III’s ongoing efforts to improve advising at Wesleyan, the College is introducing its new online advising platform, WebAdvisor, which will be available to students and advisors alike.

In the past, most advising matters have been carried out by advisors through the use of Colleague, a web-based software and database system which many Wesleyan advisors have found inconvenient and inefficient to use. To navigate Colleague, advisors have had to be armed with a knowledge of codes and keyboard commands, and enough patience to jump through an awkward series of screens to do their advising.
