UW-Madison offers two convenient applications to support instruction: Learn@UW, an course management system, and My WebSpace, a utility for quick uploads of course materials. College of Engineering instructors may create a course homepage for any engineering class with an application called Engineering Courses on the Web (eCOW).

Engineering Courses on the Web (eCOW)

eCOW works with the default settings for most recent web browsers. The settings should accept cookies and enable Javascript.

• Ordinarily, you can create an eCOW course homepage only from a UW-Madison computer. Afterward, you can edit from anywhere.

  To create an eCOW course homepage from off-campus, first download and install the Cisco Virtual Private Network (VPN) Client, log in with your university NetID, and leave the VPN client open while you create your homepage.

• You should create only one eCOW course homepage for each class unless you are teaching multiple, unrelated sections of a special topics class.

• Please reuse your existing eCOW homepage when you teach the class again.

• After you create an eCOW course homepage, it will stay on the COE website until you ask the eCOW administrator to remove it.

• The administrator does not know your password. If you misplace it or forget it, please request a new one.

To create an eCOW course homepage for your course:

1. Start at the COE courses site homepage, courses.engr.wisc.edu.

2. Click on the department for your class.

3. Click on the class you are teaching. If your class is not listed, contact College of Engineering web services.

4. Click "Create eCOW Course Homepage," near the top of the page. A page for homepage setup appears.

5. Fill out the form.

6. Click the "Create Homepage" button at the bottom of the form.

7. A message reports the address for your new homepage, and a link is added to the course description page.

8. After you have created the eCOW course homepage, click the SHOW CONTROL PANEL link at the top or bottom of the page to log in with your username and password, and to use eCOW commands. Click the HELP link at the top or bottom of the page find information about eCOW commands.
