What is YubaOnline and WebCT?
The YubaOnline program is the organizing body of which online and enhanced
courses are scheduled. The YubaOnline program provides faculty and student
training, support services, and other incentives to improve online teaching
and learning.
WebCT is the course management software which brings the dynamics of
a classroom environment to the Internet, through a set of Course Tools
designed to deliver online learning! Instructors and students can interact
in a virtual classroom in much the same way as in a standard classroom.
The difference is it can be done from anywhere in the world, at anytime,
and with the resources of the Internet as classroom support.
What is my Username and Password?
A dialog box (similar to the graphic above) will prompt you to enter
your WebCT ID# (Username) and Password in order to access individual student/instructor
My WebCT accounts.

What Specifically is My WebCT as a User?
My WebCT is a central location where students and instructors can see
a list of courses in which they are registered and access all courses
from within that one page. Clicking a particular course name allows you
to access that course without re-entering your User Name and Password.
My WebCT is set up on the server where your course(s) resides. The system
administrator, or your course instructor, will set up individual student
My WebCT accounts.
Unable to log on to My WebCT?
If you are unable to log on to My WebCT, recheck your WebCT ID# and Password.
Make sure you are entering the correct letter case with no spaces or special
characters. Your WebCT ID# and Password must be entered exactly as they
are given to you. If you continue to have difficulties logging onto My
WebCT, please contact your course instructor for assistance.
