Here's some copy from the WebCT homepage, Stephen. Lots more info is
available on this page at http://www.webct.com/webct/ The CT stands
for Course Tools, btw.

<<<<<<WebCT is a tool that
facilitates the creation of
sophisticated World Wide
Web-based educational
environments by non-technical
users. It can be used to create
entire on-line courses, or to
simply publish materials that
supplement existing courses.
WebCT not only produces
courses for the WWW, but
also uses WWW browsers as
the interface for the
course-building environment.
Aside from facilitating the
organization of course
material on the web, WebCT
also provides a wide variety of
tools and features that can be
added to a course. Examples
of tools include a conferencing
system, on-line chat, student
progress tracking, group
project organization, student
self-evaluation, grade
maintenance and distribution,
access control, navigation
tools, auto-marked quizzes,
electronic mail, automatic
index generation, course
calendar, student homepages,
course content searches and
much more.
WebCT is an easy-to-use
environment for creating
sophisticated WWW-based
courses that are otherwise
beyond the ability of the non
computer programmer.>>>>>
