What tools are available in WebCT?
WebCT contains many tools and features intended for use by students, designers, and graders. A general summary of the tools available is provided below. The course designer determines which features will be offered in a course, thus not all courses will contain all the tools listed below. The course designer also determines where a specific tool will be made available and the icon, or link, used to represent the feature. This allows for considerable customization within an otherwise “standard” course template. Where applicable, there is a designer development and management tool that corresponds to the listed Student Tools. For example, there is a tool available to the course designer for creating online quizzes. Student Tools: • Notes (take notes and print them) • Discussion (bulletin board – asynchronous) • CD-ROM Tool (links to files on a CD) • Chat (synchronous) • Mail (e-mail) • Glossary (list of definitions) • My Grades (personal gradebook) • Images (catalog of pictures) • Index
