The college has begun a transition from WebCT
to Blackboard Learning Systems, a new and robust course management
system. This move will enhance the online learning experience
by offering new tools and functionality for conventional, blended
and online courses.
As always, ITS will provide support and workshops that will help
users transition from WebCT to Blackboard. It is extremely important
that current WebCT and Blackboard users receive training on the
Blackboard Learning System prior to receiving Blackboard course
shells. The transition timeline is provided below.
