WebCT for Instructors and Designers

Blackboard Learn has replaced WebCT* as the University-wide course management system supported by ITS and CELT staff.

NOTE: The deadline to move courses and content from WebCT to Blackboard Learn was July 15, 2012. However, if you missed the deadline, for a limited time ISU Bb Learn support staff may still be able to help. Please use this form to request access to old WebCT courses.

Remember: If there is any chance you may want to use part or all of any WebCT courses at any time in the future, you MUST MOVE your courses—or course content—to Blackboard Learn.

*The phase-out of WebCT at ISU was necessary because the product will no longer be supported by Blackboard, Inc., which acquired WebCT in 2005 and has committed itself to incorporating the best features and functionality of WebCT into upcoming updates of the Blackboard Learn platform.
