UWM Technical Review
Open Input Sessions

What are these sessions for?

Our Information Technology (IT) Assessment study focuses on how we use information technologies, such as computers and networks, to support our learning, teaching, research and public service missions. This is the most extensive study of information technology that UW-Milwaukee has undertaken. A key first step in this study was a university wide Information Technology Survey. It went out in December to all faculty and staff and a representative set of our students. Our next steps will explore the results of these surveys to identify and prioritize the issues and inhibitors to leveraging our IT investment. The approach includes a series of user and support focus group work sessions, interviews, and open input sessions.

The Open Input Sessions are designed to enable students, staff, faculty, and researchers to express their views of IT at UWM. Each session will be facilitated using a structured agenda and the decision support software to gather your input. We will provide a summary of the survey results and probe deeper into the issues and inhibitors.

Who should attend?

The quality of our study depends on your participation. We want your ideas. We want your help. If you are a student, staff, faculty or researcher that uses technology on campus and have not been scheduled to participate in one of the focus group work sessions, please consider attending an open input session. One session will focus on Education Delivery. All other sessions are open to all UWM students, staff, faculty and researchers.

Where are the sessions?

These sessions will be held in the Decision Support Center, Room N216 in the Business Administration Building.

How do I sign up?

The Decision Support Center will accommodate 20 participants in each session. Therefore, we are limiting the sessions to the first 20 participants that sign up. Please select the session you would like to attend, click on it and go to the sign-up sheet. You will be asked to submit your name, college/department, role (student, staff, research, or faculty), and contact information (e-mail and phone number).

What's the session schedule?

The four sessions will be held on Tuesday, February 20:

Thank you for your participation and support!
