Learn@UW - SCID Contacts for Consulting, Support, and SAA Approval

This document contains SCID contacts for consultation cases, along with the SCID primary contacts used for approving Sub-Account Admin roles. This document also contains the contact information for any classroom media support questions that would need to be escalated to the central classroom media support staff.

While the Learn@UW team provides central support for its learning technologies, some schools, colleges, institutes, and departments (SCIDs) have their own instructional technologists to handle support and consultation cases. When Learn@UW staff receive a consultation request, they should refer to this document to determine whether the request should be handled by Learn@UW consultants or whether it should be referred to instructional technologists listed here.

   

Sub-Account Admin Primary SCID Contacts

These contacts are used for approving SAA access requests. These are also listed in the SAA request form, and receive approval requests from their respective departments.

Classroom Media Support (Lecture Capture/Recording)

Facilities Planning & Management (FP&M)

People who have questions about or need help with instructional technology in general assignment classrooms should contact the AV Help Desk. However, we occasionally get questions related to classroom technology because of the integration with that technology and Kaltura for lecture capture purposes. So any questions that Learn@UW receives about classroom lecture capture or related technology in classrooms should be forwarded to Classroom Media Support through the email address below.

Contact

Email av@fpm.wisc.edu with questions or to forward requests for help.

The group's website, with contact names, is here: https://av.fpm.wisc.edu/about-us/.

Libraries

The libraries do not have faculty and instructional staff assigned to them as an administrative unit. However, like us, they support faculty and instructional staff across campus. In particular, they help with Comm A and Comm B core course development and curriculum, and offer corresponding workshops and teaching sessions. 

Regarding instructional technology, they have a stake in the Sift & Winnow module, Spring Share, Research Guides LTI, the Librarian Role in Canvas, and the Library Course Reading List (Reserves).

  • All cases coming from a department listed above should be sent to edtech@med.wisc.edu as an FYI.
