You may use WebVista-specific listservs and a searchable online database to answer WebVista course site development questions. The University maintains a listserv to support our campus community of WebVista developers. WebVista, Inc. also maintains two highly active lists and offers a searchable database of common questions and answers about the use of WebVista.
The University Developers' Listserv
You may join the University of Minnesota Developer's Listserv to ask WebVista-related questions or discuss WebVista-related issues such as the following:
- technical difficulties
- design and development tips
- teaching and learning topics
Before you can send and receive messages, you first must subscribe to the listserv by sending e-mail to listserv@lists.umn.edu. (Note: this is not the listserv itself, just the address used to subscribe to it.) Leave the "Subject" blank. In the body of the message type: subscribe WebVista-users [YourFirstName YourLastName]. Make certain that your e-mail signature, if any, is not included in this message.
You then can send messages to all the list subscribers at WebVista-users@lists.umn.edu.
The University Knowledge Base
You can access the University's Knowledge Base to see what other course designers and instructors at the University of Minnesota have learned about using WebVista.
