WebCT is a Web based set of Course Tools designed to deliver online learning. It was originally developed by the University of British Columbia and is presently being used by universities and colleges all over the world. Wright State University is supporting WebCT as the delivery platform for its online courses.
Some of the WebCT tools used to support online learning include:
- homepages
- discussions
- chat
- glossary
- calendar
- quiz
WebCT provides the tools to present online learning in a variety of ways. This can range from structured learning pathways to dynamic, interactive virtual classrooms. How a course is presented online depends on the content and complexity of the learning material, and the delivery methodology used by the instructor.
With each lesson studied, WebCT will become a more familiar and welcoming learning environment. Eventually, WebCT will simply become another tool used to support learning.
