How We’ve Used WebCT
• Administrative tasks (e.g., distribute grades)
• Assessment & Evaluation
(quizzing, assignments, self assessments)
• Content Management & Delivery(store digital content, present in a variety of ways, selectively provide content to groups, etc.)
• Communication and Collaboration (conduct discussions [public and private], chats, group management)

Some Challenges
People
• Large numbers of faculty & staff to train
• Large number of students to support
• Maintain same level of support or MORE!
Technology
• Current aging WebCT CE4 system cannot support continued growth
• See presentation from UBC’s IT unit @ 3:30 today (309)

Why Move to Vista?
• Vista provides more flexible tools & increased
functionality
• Vista provides a robust system that is scalable &
reliable
• Increase in use of online learning at UBC
• Continuity & brand

Questions to consider
• How do we communicate benefits to instructors?
• How do we set & manage expectations:
– Faculty & Students
– Internal employees
– Our bosses (and our boss’s boss….)
• What are the most effective approaches/frameworks
we can use?
