Pilot Services

Our members have been central in the creation of new services through their participation in pilot services. Past pilots that have gone on to become full production services include our Moodle powered Learning Management Service, and our online learning content repository, Digital Districts Online. And now, there's there's MasStore Network Storage.

 

Network Access

Our members use an extremely-reliable Internet access service, built on redundancy, advanced networking technology and the capacity to handle the most demanding network applications. We support you with the most-experienced network technologists in Wisconsin: Our members consistently rank our technical support staff as what they value most about WiscNet membership.

 

Technical Support

Our members enjoy the technical support tools and services they need to connect with each other and the world in order to share their widely varying expertise and experiences.

 

 

Web

To help you comply with E-rate requirements and customize web access to fit your organization's standards, use our continuously-updated, high-performance filtering service to block sites, content and services that you deem inappropriate.  We also can host your institution's web site, freeing you from the burden of maintaining a web server but giving you full control of the content. WiscNet membership also includes a free 1GB website, supporting the LAMP web development platform. Some members use this space to provide an emergency website.

 

Online Learning

 

WiscNet is the one-stop shop where you can improve online learning for your K-12 district's students and clear the way for online professional development for educators. We offer a variety of options to support member's online learning needs including Digital Districts Online, an online content brokerage, a Learning Management Service (LMS), powered by Moodle, and Annenberg video on demand.

 

Email

E-mail is a critical Internet service that requires constant attention. In 2008 we significantly improved our e-mail hosting service – a five-fold increase in storage per account, spam and virus filtering, sophisticated mailing list functions – while maintaining the ease-of-use and simple management that our current service provides.

 

Security

WiscNet is helping you keep your data and network secure. We can provide you with a WiscNet managed firewall, or manage one you already own. We can also help you discover vulnerabilities on your servers with the Nessus scanner. We also offer protection from spam and email viruses with our Postini based Anti-Spam / Anti-Virus Service, listed under Email services.
