WIDS User Group
Where WIDS Site Administrators and curriculum champions come together for innovation and collaboration.
WIDS User Group & Workshop
Every year to 18 months, we host our software clients for WIDS User Group and Workshop in Madison, Wisconsin to:
- Share software best practices
- Network with curriculum, assessment, and instructional design professionals
- Explore new and unique functions of our software
The first day features presentations by WIDS users that showcase how they use our software in their organization. The best people to talk about WIDS software are the users themselves!
The following day features hands-on workshops that dive into specific aspects of our software - a perfect opportunity for new and experienced users to bring questions and receive answers.
Breakfast and lunch are provided both days.
