• IA&AB Members may also sign the online Register of WOLA Interim House of Tutors as stipulated in the Interim Organization Structure and Interim Business Procedure.

Discussions on the draft list

• I agree with the suggestions made, also on the course selections to be offered starting with picking up the eL4C training workshops. All courses selected were extremely valued by the community. I also support teaching the use of the WE Moodle. --Patricia Schlicht 16:00, 25 July 2012 (UTC)
