Thank you for using and contributing to the UBC Wiki!

My name is Will. I am a member of the CTLT Development Team.

The UBC Wiki is administered by the Centre for Teaching, Learning and Technology. See the Wiki Gardening Project page for information about the ongoing efforts to help make the wiki a valuable resource for the UBC community.
