Sue Faust
Reforging the Links Project Coordinator
Distance Education Specialist
Instructional Communications Systems, University of Wisconsin-Extension
Sue Faust is a Distance Education Specialist at ICS. She holds a Masters
degree in Continuing and Vocational Education from the University of
Wisconsin-Madison.
Her professional career began as a computer programmer for a private business
in Madison, Wisconsin. After six years in this capacity, an interest in
training and support led Sue to return to graduate school to receive her
Masters degree. Moving from writing computer programs to supporting those who
used mainframe and pc computers, she continued to develop training programs for
Information Systems professions and "non-computer" staff alike for seven years.
An interest in distance education led Sue to employment at Instructional
Communications Systems (ICS). ICS is a unit of the Continuing Education
Division within the University of Wisconsin-Extension. In addition to working
on the Reforging the Links project, her efforts at ICS support University of
Wisconsin faculty in the use of audiographics teleconferencing and
videoconferencing for instructional purposes. In this capacity she responds to
technical questions as well as offers instructional design assistance. Sue
also keeps in touch with the realities of face-to-face teaching by working as a
part-time instructor at Madison Area Technical College.
