Faculty Workshops
WebCT workshops for faculty are scheduled throughout the year. It is advisable to attend the Introduction to WebCT workshop the semester prior to your going "live" with your WebCT class. That way you will have plenty of time to design your class template and put your course material online. WebCT Training & Support offers training and workshops in the following formats:

• Small group workshop sessions
• Personalized one-to-one training
• Individual consulting services

If you have questions about WebCT at EMU or would like to schedule a consultation with one of the instructional technologists, please feel free to contact Academic Technology and Computing Services (ATCS) at 487-2679.

Workshop Descriptions

Teaching at EMU: Introduction to WebCT
This workshop is part of the Teaching at EMU series offered by the Faculty Development Center. In these sessions, participants will roll up their sleeves and experience the WebCT interface with online lectures, assignments and quizzes, just like the students do. Then participants will use the basic course creation and management tools to learn how to organize a course, add content, and provide online grades for assignments, discussions and quizzes.
