Intractional Design at ICS

Effective teaching via distance education doesn’t just happen. It happens — by design. This Web site provides you with the context and specifics of distance education design through the expertise of Instructional Communications Systems (ICS), University of Wisconsin-Extension (UW-Extension). Instructional Communications Systems provides interactive technologies for distance learning. We believe in fully integrating technology into the teaching and learning environment by making interactive technologies an integral and transparent part of your course, program, or meeting. We don't think technology is an "all or nothing" solution, but we do believe that technology is another tool to help you achieve your goals. We can help you blend these technologies seamlessly into your work.
