WebCT is considered to be the leading course management system, with over 700 installed sites in more than 40 countries. Over the past two years, Academic Computing has worked with one or two UMass faculty per semester to develop WebCT courses. Class sizes have ranged from eight to over 300 students. Such collaborations have resulted in more than a dozen WebCT courses, each serving a particular course need. These partnerships have helped build expertise in determining appropriate WebCT usage.
