WIDS User Group
Where WIDS Site Administrators and curriculum champions come together for innovation and collaboration.
WIDS User Group
WIDS User Group is back! Join us on November 11 for a day of learning, sharing, and connecting with fellow WIDS users. Hear how others are putting WIDS to work, exchange ideas, and discover new ways to get more from WIDS. User Group is designed to help you:
- Connect with other WIDS users and share ideas, experiences, and best practices.
- Learn how others are using WIDS to address real-world challenges and improve their work.
- Engage with fellow users and the WIDS team to ask questions, exchange ideas, and help shape what's ahead.
What's on the agenda?
One of the best ways to discover what's possible with WIDS is to hear from the people using it every day. That's why their presentations are at the heart of User Group. This year, you'll hear they're using WIDS to work for course and program review, faculty training, assessment planning, and more.
We'll also explore how WIDS users are putting AI to work, from reviewing and updating catalog content and creating more student-friendly syllabus language to using AI as a thought partner.
And they're back! Our Idea Exchange sessions were a hit at our last User Group, so we're bringing them back. These interactive conversations give you a chance to ask questions, share what's working at your organization, and learn from the experiences of other WIDS users.
Joining us in person? Check-in and continental breakfast begin at 8:00 a.m. Arrive early to grab some breakfast, reconnect with familiar faces, meet other WIDS users, and get the conversation started before User Group kicks off at 9:00 a.m.
