Introduction to the WebCT Software
WebCT software can be used to create entire courses online or to complement a classroom-based course. WebCT software resides on a server, allowing you and your students to access it via a web browser, such as Netscape or Internet Explorer. It also allows you to make changes to your course readily - from any web-accessible location - and to make these changes available to your students immediately.
You can use WebCT to
- provide course materials that include text, images, video, and audio
- evaluate students with quizzes and assignments
- facilitate learning using searchable indexes, glossaries, and image databases
- integrate web resources into your courses
- create opportunities for students to be knowledge builders
- encourage student interaction by using hyperlinks to websites, student web pages, and a note-taking tool
- communicate with students via discussions, email, real-time chat sessions, and an interactive whiteboard
- manage grades
- supply student feedback via an online gradebook, self tests, and progress tracking
- obtain data that allows you to analyze the effectiveness of your course
