What is WebCT?
WebCT is a delivery method for online courses. The “classroom” is located within WebCT. This allows instructors to allow only authorized students, administrators, etc. access to course materials. Since a username and password is required to access the course, this restricts access to the course. WebCT also allows students to track their progress and take quizzes. Please know that your scores are only viewable by you, and not other classmates. The only course material housed outside of WebCT is the discussion board, which is also monitored by assigned usernames and passwords. It is also considered “private” and can be accessed only by people authorized by the instructor.
WebCT is a leading provider of e-learning systems for educational institutions. Thousands of colleges and universities in more than 70 countries worldwide are expanding the boundaries of teaching and learning with WebCT. Students using WebCT as an educational medium have the ability to complete 100% of their course work, such as assignments and exams, via the internet. Course communication may be held through the use of chat rooms as well as message boards and e-mail.
