Western Online Transition - Effective Summer 2012
During the 2011-2012 academic year, WIU will be transitioning from WebCT Vista to Desire2Learn for our online course learning management system. Desire2Learn will provide many new features and updates to enhance our online learning environment. The WebCT Vista software that currently supports Western Online will be phased out at the end of the Spring 2012 semester.
CITR will continue to accept applications but will approve them contingent upon meeting award criteria and availability of funds. Due to Illinois' current economic problems, CITR is no longer able to award travel dollars for newly submitted applications. Please check the CITR website for updates and changes to this policy.
