Workshops → Catalyst Tools Workshops
The Catalyst Web Tools are a set of Web-based communication and collaboration applications designed for use in teaching, learning, research, and everyday work. Although the Catalyst Tools workshops are designed with UW instructors and employees in mind, anyone with a UW NetID can attend. Here, you can learn how to create an online workspace, use an online survey for your research, create a discussion board, manage and submit grades online, set up an assignment turn-in area, share files online, and manage an online quiz.
