What is WebCT?
Web Course Tools (WebCT) is an application that provides an online
course management system for developing and delivering Web, or
Web-enhanced courses. It is currently being offered on campus as a
pilot program. The Teaching Resources Center and IET Mediaworks are
working together to assess the campus needs and the support
requirements of adopting this course management system.
Feature/Tools Highlights:
+ communications - between you and students and among students,
synchronous and asynchronous, text and visual.
+ assessment - quiz, self-test, survey, assignment collection
+ student tools - grade book, group project presentation, progress tracking
+ selective release - the designer can control access to all course
materials. Access can be based on student performance, on time, or
individual users.
+ Content Delivery - post lecture notes or supplemental material.
