State renews WebCT License; available to schools free of charge

The State of South Dakota recently renewed the statewide site license that allows educators in grades K-12 across the state to use WebCT upon completion of training.  

WebCT enables the delivery of an online course so that students can work anyplace, anytime, on the content. It can be used to house a fully developed Internet course; it can be used to supplement a course being taught over the DDN.  And it can be used to add an e-learning component to a course being taught face-to-face.  Teachers find it a useful method for organizing course materials and making them available for their students 24 hrs. per day, 7 days per week.  It can also cut down on the volume of paper  If you have further questions regarding WebCT or would like to set a training up for your school contact Mark Heilmann at mark.heilmann@state.sd.us or via phone at 605-280-3612.
