About WileyPLUS
WileyPLUS is an innovative, research-based online environment for effective teaching and learning.
WileyPLUS builds students' confidence because it takes the guesswork out of studying by providing students with a clear roadmap: what to do, how to do it, if they did it right. Students will take more initiative so you'll have greater impact on their achievement in the classroom and beyond.
November
Central Webcast Control Room

A new centralised webcast lecture recording facility was launched in 1 November 2011. This new facility consists of 10 high-end recording stations which allows remote camera control and archiving operations. The stations can handle more than 80 hours of recorded webcast lectures per day.
Prior to the launch of this new facility, CIT was recording from a few satellite sites located at the Faculties and Schools. This new centralised recording room will help CIT to manage manpower more effectively and streamline its recording workflow.
