 Learning Managment System (WebCT)
The Learning Management System (LMS) is also known as WebCT Blackboard Campus Edition. It is an integrated set of
web course tools that can be used to supplement a class taught mostly face-to-face or can be used to teach a course
entirely at a distance online. WebCT incorporates many optional tools which facilitate learning and communication,
including discussion boards, online grade posting, online quizzes, audio and video clip integration, and live chat,
as well as providing a space to post a syllabus, course announcements, and assignments.
