Call for Guinea Pigs ;-)
WebCT 6 Focus Group and Pilot Project

Are you willing to participate in a pilot of WebCT 6?
Would you be willing to be part of an instructor focus group?

We're looking for a broad cross-section of courses and instructors who can help us as we venture from WebCT 4.1 to 6.

  • Focus Group Members will receive periodic calls from Online Learning to ask for opinions or tryouts of various setups and features to help us determine whether they will work for our larger instructor population. Group members need not be teaching a pilot 6 course (although they may do both).

    We anticipate tapping our Focus Group with questions primarily this spring and summer. However, questions may also arise during the fall as we continue to fine-tune our implementation.

  • Pilot Instructors. These hardy souls will help trial course conversion from 4.1 to 6 and will be the first to use the new procedures, new functionality, and new support tools, while running their actual course with live students.

    We hope to be up and running with a limited pilot during June and Summer II, with a full pilot running in Fall. Therefore, we're seeking applicants who are scheduled to teach in June modular, Summer II, and/or Fall.

    While we can expect a few bumps along the road, participants will receive training, lots of support, hand-holding, and hands-on assistance as we figure this thing out together.

    We're looking for courses that use ePacks and courses that do NOT use ePacks; instructors with lots of experience with WebCT, some with just a little experience, and some in between. Courses that use many WebCT tools are also very attractive for this pilot. Both credit and non-credit courses are welcome.

If you're interested in participating in either or both of these capacities, please share the following information with us so we can make the best possible selection to represent the range of BCCC experiences.
