University may replace WebCT - Deeda Schroeder, Portland State Vanguard
After 10 years using WebCT as their primary online learning tool, Portland State students and faculty are playing a large role in determining what will replace the outdated system. Pilot courses in WebCT’s newest version (WebCT 6.0) and Samla, an open source system, have been underway since fall term, providing feedback which will contribute to the decision making process. With over 22,000 students utilizing online learning, the transition will take over a year to complete once a choice is made. Five thousand students participated in the Samla pilot over winter term, and this term a WebCT 6.0 pilot will include six to seven courses.
