California State University System Expands Course Management Technology - Wayne Hanson, Converge

Earlier this year the California State University system (CSU) entered into an agreement with WebCT to make its course management system technology available to all 23 campuses. Since then, nine CSU campuses have upgraded to the WebCT Campus Edition 4.0 course management system, enhancing capabilities for quick course development, inter-campus collaboration and integration with enterprise applications on campus. New features include design wizards that automate common set up of home pages, syllabi, organizer pages, content modules, discussions, mail, calendars and chats. In addition, it contains an integrated Web authoring tool with spellcheck, providing course designers with what-you-see-is-what-you-get (WYSIWYG) content creation; and an import feature that allows designers to easily incorporate IMS- and LRN-compliant learning objects in their courses. Designers can also create learning objects offline using applications such as Microsoft FrontPage and Microsoft PowerPoint and import them into WebCT Campus Edition with their structure and linking intact.
