M-2: Advantages of Standardizing Your WebCT Courses


Detailed Description:	Should all WebCT courses be the same? Perhaps not, but by having standards in place, your institution can maintain a consistent look and feel for instructors and students. Standardization also allows faculty to concentrate on course content (rather than worrying about design) and makes quality assurance checks easier for course reviewers. This session will explore the tools used to standardize course design in WebCT and will discuss the benefits of standardization.
