Bb WebCT - Getting Started

We have a campus-wide web-based course management system. Blackboard WebCT is online, access anywhere, anytime to course material and tools. Many faculty use Bb WebCT to support their classroom activities, posting a syllabus, homework assignments, announcements, even assessments. Only students in your class or those you have given access can see the course material in Bb WebCT.

Currently, we are running Blackboard's Vista product.  Vista provides us with a more robust, secure platform along with a variety of new and enhanced features. 

We have several ways to help you get started. We provide training courses and consulting. We work with many one-on-one to provide the most customized learning environment.  Contact Janet and we will schedule time with you.  You may Request a Course to get the process going.  Request a New Course>>

Documentation

WebCT has several tutorials on their site to help you get an overview.   We have a support area set up in Vista called Faculty Support.

Faculty Technology Forum

During the school year, about every three weeks, we host a technology forum with a guest speaker from on or off campus. The purpose is to share ideas and information on different ways to use technology to enhance our students' learning experiences.

How Do I...

Find my WebCT User Name? - If you are an enrolled student, faculty, or staff, your WebCT user name and password is the same as your campus user name and password. Guest users of WebCT are given their user name by an instructor or administrator.

Change my password? - If you have a campus user name and password, then you will use Campus Connection to change your password associated with your campus user name. If you have a Guest login to WebCT and need your password changed, check for a link on your myWebCT menu. If you cannot find the link, ask your instructor to help you change the password.
