I've been using WebCT for several months now, and find it very useful. If
you want to see a WebCT-based course in use, you are welcome to visit my Web
sites (I have several). The most fully developed site, by far, is the one I
put together for a course in Communications Technologies. To visit it, point
your Web browser to:
http://fdc.fullerton.edu:8900/public/S16125/index.html
You can login as:
guest (all lower case)
The password is:
comm422 (all lower case, no spaces)
Guest login is available for my other courses, and for a student
organization. In each case, the name is "guest," and the password is the
course number with no spaces.

http://fdc.fullerton.edu:8900/public/11039/index.html (comm464)
http://fdc.fullerton.edu:8900/public/11002/index.html (comm362)
http://fdc.fullerton.edu:8900/public/PRSSA/index.html (prssa)
WebCT isn't incredibly friendly for the uninitiated designer, but it's
fairly robust and has many fully configurable features. Another configurable
courseware package is Blackboard. It's somewhat more user-friendly for both
students and designers than WebCT, but is not as extensive or flexible.

Regarding the response of Wendell Piez, I can only ask what is "real
learning?"
Sincerely,
