Class TIPS (Technology Instruction/Peer Success) within Client Services is the place for students to learn both new technologies and technologies new to them. Our tech-savvy tutors are pros, harnessing and using technology, in a socially and professionally responsible way, teaching other students the skills they need to complete course assignments through hands-on, one-on-one, and small group sessions. The tutors also help new students use and maximize WCU’s eBriefcase.
