About
The Weigle Information Commons (WIC) supports innovative learning, teaching, and media production. Our group study spaces and technology-rich classrooms foster collaborative learning and student engagement. We offer training, equipment, and support for digital media, including immersive technology, for Penn students, faculty and staff. For faculty and teaching assistants, we have instruction services, including assistance in assignment design and strategies for teaching with technology. Through the libraries and partners across campus, we provide programming and consulting services that help students succeed.
