Dr. Gallagher walked me through some of the management features. Adding students, customizing the homepage, and uploading documents took a total of two hours, and I only had to call Jennifer twice about questions on the package. It was encouraging to see that all of the students were able to post a response with a minimum of difficulty, and subsequent features like uploading rough drafts were also fairly easy for them. Uploading my own images, adding WebCT tools, using Student Presentations. The student web-page function is very limited, and I don't anticipate much use for it.
Students can do no more than select a background, header, and footer, and add links.
There is no way simply to publish a paper this way, for example. I also have my students use the bulletin board in just about every class session for in-class writing. Even staggered log-ons does not always work, and the chat feature is ultimately too frustrating and time consuming for use in the classroom. This is a bit confusing and time consuming, but if you provide detailed instructions and walk your students through the process, it becomes fairly routine. Describe one feature of the webware package that you use in a unique way.
