Scheduling connections to AVS (Vision Athena) content
The Center for Interactive Learning and Collaboration (CILC), an IHETS affiliate member, provides rich program offerings that are often referred to as Vision Athena (AVS) content. Many of these programs are offered by other organizations throughout Indiana, across the nation, and beyond. They can be found by searching all programs on CILC's Web site.
If you are interested in connecting to and accessing AVS programs, please follow
these steps.
Step 1

The Help Desk staff will give you:

Step 2
To request a program through www.cilc.org,
use the Request this Program Now option at the bottom of each program
or go to http://www.cilc.org/request.aspx.
