Using WebCT does not require any specialist skills.
WebCT is, however, an Internet tool and contains some concepts that apply to online learning.
If you are not an Internet user, you may find it takes a little while to adjust to the constantly changing environment of the Internet, and the frustrations that are often associated with new technology.
Your first prerequisite then is to learn as much as you can about browsing the Internet. So, the best thing to do is to get connected and start surfing the net (browsing the vast pool of information available on the Internet). This will provide the skills necessary to begin using WebCT.
