Brief Description:
Last semester’s transition for online classes from WebCT Campus Edition to WebCT Vista was a rather large undertaking for many faculty. My presentation would demonstrate specific ways that I’ve translated my former English 51 Campus Edition class into Vista. I’ll cover issues of weekly instructions versus the Announcements function, scored Discussion Board assignments, managing updates & translations of classes between Vista & Campus Edition shells.

What three specific things will attendees learn from your session?

• How & when to use weekly instructions and/or the Announcements function.
• How to incorporate scored Discussion Board assignments in a developmental English class.
• How to manage updates & translations of classes between Vista & Campus Edition shells.
