Delivering all of your content as pure text, however, would be comparable to delivering all of your content as pure lecture. Anything that can be done with html can be included in a WebCT course. The methods, overall, are really not that different from traditional assessment alternatives. A Self-Test option allows students to practice what they are learning and get immediate feedback from answers the instructor has programmed into the course. Essay questions that will require individual attention by the instructor can also be included.
Students can still submit papers and other assignments.
These can be posted to the class Bulletin Board or sent directly to the instructor via Private Mail. Attached files can be used for more complex assignments when format and appearance of the final product are an issue. There is also an Assignment Dropbox and a Presentations area. Student Tracking makes it possible to monitor the overall activity of each student within the course. Conclusion Before designing a WebCT course, consider how the available tools can be used to facilitate communication, content delivery, and student evaluation.
