b) WizLearn - Call for Expressions of Interest
----------------------------------------------
CHEST would like to hear from Sites who are interested in a proposed
agreement for WizLearn 7.0 Academic Learning Management System (LMS).

WizLearn, a web-based LMS will be available at 3 levels, pilot, basic
and premium.  It is designed to bring students and teachers together in
a virtual learning environment (VLE) and to provide the tools, resources
and techniques necessary for communication, group interaction and
interactive support.  More details of the product are available from
<http://www.wizlearn.com.>  

Wizlearn is compared with 5 other VLE products on CHEST's VLE Comparison
Grid at <http://www.chest.ac.uk/datasets/vle/.>

The agreement will be open to all CHEST Eligible Sites including members
of IATUL and SURFdiensten.

Proposed prices for site licences, including 2 days training are as
follows(in UK pounds, including CHEST Admin Fee, excluding VAT;

Level         Annual Price           Notes
-----         ------------           -----
Pilot              1375.00           Max 1000 users/server

Premium           13500.00           Unlimited users/server

These prices represent a discount of around 20 per cent on previously
offered academic prices.
 
Please record your interest in a subscription to Wizlearn via a CHEST
Agreement by sending a message to <mailto:[log in to unmask]>
with the subject line "WizLearn".

An expression of interest does not commit your site to a licence,
however, it is hoped that responses will be based on an identified need
at your institution.


c) IEE Online Publications
--------------------------
Following on from the announcement regarding the new INSPEC Agreement 
in the CHEST Data Messenger of 20th December 2002, CHEST is pleased to 
announce that an additional product will also now be available via the 
new CHEST/IEE Agreement.

IEE Online Publications will be an additional product option alongside 
INSPEC under the new Agreement and will provide electronic access to:

issues per year from January 1994.

the rapidly advancing world of electronics and electrical engineering.

IEE Conferences: Conference proceedings from 1994 to the present

There will also be the option to take some or all of the current

subscription year for which an institution is licensed for this option.

£4250 for Online access to IEE Online Publications and £5250 for Online 
access and supply of print copies.
