Dear Nathalia (and others with similar queries) I apologize for the worries the announcement for the morphometrics course from Manchester seems to have caused this year.
The only thing participants will need is an internet connection (sufficiently fast for web pages with graphics content) and a web browser. For the work in small groups, it will also be necessary to do some simple editing of web pages, for which there is software available over the Internet for free. The WebCT system is simply the packaging for the course content that also provides facilities for communication among the participants of the course: bulletin boards, an E-mail system for the course, and a chat facility. If you have not used it before, you will learn it quickly. And the only thing you need to access it is a web browser. Again, apologies for any anxiety my previous announcement and the course web page (http://www.flywings.org.uk/MorphoCourse) may have caused. Best wishes, Chris At 09:31 PM 9/9/2006, you wrote:
Hi! I am really interested in takig this course, and so are a few people in my university, in Ecuador. But I was wondering if there is any special technical thing we must do to take it, because no one has worked here with WebCT before. Is that a problem?
