• Users familiar with earlier versions of WebCT Campus Edition will quickly adapt to version 4.0 or 4.1. The interface has been enhanced to group logical functions together, saving users clicks and mouse-scrolls, but the flow and form of the application remains consistent with previous versions.  It's just like learning to drive the latest model of your car. Just because a few controls have been moved and the style has been updated you don't need to have someone teach you how to drive again!
• A number of workshops will be offered to provide an overview of the new and improved features so watch for announcements.

• For students already familiar with WebCT, the primary change will be in how WebCT looks. The large majority of tools and features work the same or very similarly as in the past.
