About WebCT

Selected by the Learning Technology committee of the SU Faculty Senate (November 2000), WebCT is a tool that facilitates the creation of sophisticated World Wide Web-based education environments.  It can be used to provide supplemental instructional resources for courses.  Furthermore, WebCT will be the principal application for online and hybrid course development.

WebCT provides:

  • a set of educational tools to facilitate learning, communication and collaboration
  • an interface allowing the design of the presentation of the course (color schemes, page layout, etc.)
  • a set of administrative tools to assist the instructor in the process of management and continuous improvement of the course.
