Training - the Joys and Challenges Good trainers in any field are defined by their impact on those whom they train.
Effective teaching leads to powerful learning.
When studying trainers for effectiveness, it's not always possible to observe the outcomes. Instead, we can focus on the set o f behaviors or actions a trainer shows which tend to predict the most effective outcomes. In this highly interactive session, the group will investigate what it takes to be an eff ective WebCT trainer and identify the skills and competencies that lead to successful training outcomes. This highly technical session, which targets system administrators and technic al support staff, will provide an overview of API, including integrating and synchronizing with existing and new course registration systems and outlining how to implement a limited functionality interface for non-WebCT administrators. WebCT grew out of an individual professor's desire to provide a rich, interactive learning environment to his students outside the walls of the traditional university classroom.
