"WebCT became the critical element for meeting the mission of Louisiana Sate University Health Sciences Center School of Nursing after Hurricane Katrina struck. The willingness of WebCT to create and host a communication structure effectively allowed us to continue our Fall 2005 courses and to graduate our December class on time. Personnel at WebCT worked tirelessly with our Information Technology staff to assure that students were not inconvenienced. At all times the WebCT staff were professional, knowledgeable, creative, and dedicated to meeting the needs of our school. Thank you WebCT!"
Elizabeth A. Humphrey, Ed.D, RN Dean, Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center School of Nursing
"WebCT Campus Edition plays a critical role in helping us remove the barriers between our intelligent, ambitious citizens and their full human potential as educated persons. We chose WebCT because of its stronger standards support and because of WebCT's status as the de facto standard in higher-ed e-learning technology."
Dr. Cheick Modibo Diarra Chief Executive Officer African Virtual University
"The number of online course offerings in the Distance Education Program has increased dramatically, due to the ease with which instructors can customize e-Packs [publisher-created content designed for use with WebCT] to fit their own needs: their flexible, customizable nature is certainly responsible for their popularity."
Candace Schaefer Dean of Distance Education Blinn College
"Providing a first-class education system, boosting the student learning experience and driving student success is something all HE institutions face today. By taking advantage of the innovative technology that is available, universities will be able to meet these goals and offer students an even better education. We went through an exhaustive selection process to get where we are today and I'm confident that WebCT's Vista product will prove popular with students, academics and support staff."
Brendan Casey Director, Library & Information Services City University
"Cool School is gaining momentum as more school districts and private institutions see the value in learning over the Internet versus going without a course offering or paying prohibitive expenses to develop their own. WebCT enables all of our schools to create a rich, flexible learning environment online that is just as sound as a traditional class."
David Lee Principal Cool School (Consortium of Online Learning)
"WebCT Campus Edition lets us add the critical e-learning features we need without increasing our e-learning costs, and it makes the switch to WebCT painless. From the salespeople to technical support and senior executives, WebCT understands and appreciates that we're a community college, and that e-learning is at least as important to us as residential schools."
Barry Garrison Director, Institutional Effectiveness Corning Community College
"As the largest college in the UK, we have always encouraged and promoted a range of teaching and learning methods to help widen participation and ensure our students are fully engaged and excited about their learning programmes. WebCT Campus Edition has allowed us to successfully provide, support and promote collaborative working and virtual communities to many of our 50,000 students in our pilot year via a range of synchronous and asynchronous methods - helping us, as an institution, really lead the way in online learning."
Martin Thomson E-Learning Development Manager Cornwall College
"Deakin is committed to a whole-of-university approach to e-learning, not just for our 14,000 off-campus students, but for all our students, so we needed a system that could scale many times over to eventually accommodate our entire student population on a single platform. WebCT Vista lets us do that while preserving unparalleled flexibility for our students, faculty, course developers, administrators and IT staff."
Sue McKnight Executive Director of Learning Services and University Librarian Deakin University
"We are confident the Internet can do for education what it has done for business and personal life, and we look forward to significantly advancing our educational goals with e-learning in Hamburg. We chose WebCT because of its flexibility, its scalability and its superior ability to integrate easily with our other campus systems."
Joachim W. Schmidt, Ph.D. Professor E-Learning Consortium Hamburg (ELCH)
"From my perspective as a campus WebCT administrator and faculty trainer, I have found WebCT's customer and technical support to be a tremendous comfort. The company is approachable and responsive. I have come to rely tremendously on their immediate support and guidance whenever problems arise. At PSU, WebCT is the standard for integrating online materials. It has, over the years, become a ‘mission critical’ component on campus..."
Nancy Bowers Instructional Support Specialist Portland State University
"E-learning is becoming an integral part of the Purdue academic enterprise, not something on the periphery of our mission. As such, we needed a single academic enterprise system for the Purdue system with the scalability and flexibility to support our student and faculty population for decades. That's why we chose WebCT Vista."
Jim Bottum Vice President, Information Technology Purdue University
"We're very happy with the WebCT Campus Edition and the way our students and faculty have plunged into e-learning. One of the major reasons we standardized on WebCT was its superior capabilities for managing student performance."
Jack Bryant Vice President of Continuing, Contracted and Online Education Redlands Community College
"WebCT is the most fun I've had in education since the 1970s. I've found the software forces me to be more organized and helps me to better express and deliver learning objectives and achieve the desired educational outcome."
Dr. Lance Crocker Director of Hotel, Motel, and Restaurant Management Program Southern Maine Technical College
"WebCT Campus Edition gives us the right combination of flexibility and ease of use that our e-learning program needs. We evaluated other products, but none of them had WebCT Campus Edition's ability to get us off to a fast start, then sustain our program in the long term."
David Barrow-Britton Director, Educational Technology and Outreach Texas A&M International University
“The University of Central Florida faces the challenge of cost-effectively providing high quality educational experiences to a rapidly growing student population. By using WebCT in conjunction with face-to-face instruction, we have been able to transform the educational experience we offer our students, while at the same time increasing access and providing our students with more flexible learning opportunities. Through the use of WebCT and high-quality faculty and course development support, we have created online learning environments that result in improved student learning outcomes, and high levels of faculty and student satisfaction.”
Joel Hartman Vice Provost for Information Technologies and Resources University of Central Florida
"We selected WebCT Vista because we needed an enterprise-level learning foundation that is reliable and scalable with an architecture that will accommodate the varied and growing online learning environment on campus. With continued improvements to our e-learning program, we'll better support classroom instruction and continue to attract the best and brightest students."
Lanny Arvan Assistant CIO, Educational Technologies University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
"As one of the UK's top research-led universities, it is vital that we use the most innovative and effective teaching and learning solutions available. Working together with WebCT and introducing an e-learning environment is something we believe will really help us grow. We are now working towards successful implementation through the development of e-learning strategies within the University's Schools. Moreover, the multi-institutional learning approach ensures we can expand access to teaching and learning opportunities and successfully work together with other educational institutions to develop and deliver joint e-learning courses. For example, a student will be able to take advantage of joint degree opportunities, drawing on subject strengths from both UniS and Roehampton."
Tom Crawshaw Director, Information Services University of Surrey
"E-learning is quickly permeating West Virginia higher education, transforming experiences for everyone from the on-campus freshman to the 70-year-old continuing education student. Access to learning is critical in a state where hundreds of mountain miles separate students and faculty members from campuses, but equally critical is improving educational quality. WebCT Vista supports these goals at every step."
J. Michael Mullen Chancellor West Virginia Higher Education Policy Commission
