The Wisconsin Experience
UW–Madison graduates become extraordinary citizens, community members and national and global leaders. We
have produced more Peace Corp and Teach for America volunteers than almost any other university in the
country over the past 20 years. More leaders of major corporations have graduated from UW–Madison than any
other university in the country. We are among the top producers of faculty members who teach at research-intensive institutions around the world. Many local, state, and national leaders are our graduates. Something
about the UW–Madison experience prepares our students to become outstanding leaders who are engaged locally,
nationally and globally.

Addressing Textbook Costs
Textbook costs—particularly in large, introductory courses—now contribute significantly into students’ total college costs. A campuswide student, faculty, and staff committee, under the direction of the Provost Office, reviewed the university's efforts to address this problem. Their report, including recommendations, can be read here.
The Technology-Enhanced Learning Project
UW–Madison has embarked on a three-year program to enhance teaching and learning throughout the university through the various uses of technology. The TEL (Technology-Enhanced Learning) Project will develop classroom learning modules, "hybrid" and technology-heavy courses, searchable databases, and build capacity among UW–Madison faculty, instructors, and future faculty. Key to the TEL project will be developing teaching & learning collaborations across our schools and colleges, and creating ways to seamlessly integrate technology into our students' educational experience.
In the 2007–08 academic year, individual Schools and Colleges are developing pilot projects that are pushing the limits of how technology can be used in and out of the classroom. We invite you to explore the thirteen projects summarized in the accompanying table, and to contact any of us who are working on these projects or who are on the TEL Committee.
TEL Projects for 2007–08
The goals for the 2008–09 award competition, year 2 of the TEL Project, is to generate resources and infrastructure to support UW–Madison's efforts to create "classrooms of the future." These "classrooms" take explicit advantage of learning moments whenever and wherever they occur, blending experiences in and out of the traditional classroom.
