| WebCT is the course management system currently supported
at Kent State University. It provides a relatively secure and easy way for
faculty to provide course information and interactions to students. Faculty
use of WebCT is growing rapidly, and it includes a variety of tools for
collaboration. Among the collaborative software tools found in WebCT are
- Chat rooms
- Threaded discussion board (which can be restricted to small groups of
students)
- Student presentation area for displaying project results
- File sharing through attachments to internal email or discussion
postings
One problem or collaborative learning with the version of WebCT currently
in use at KSU is the relative difficulty in setting up all these tools for
each group.
