Tech Tips for Online Classes
About Non-WebCT Courses
Oakton currently uses WebCT as its course management software
program for most classes developed in-house. Some courses are hosted on non-Oakton servers and use
different software. Other courses make significan use of non-Oakton sites like MyMathLab. While WebCT and other platforms like BlackBoard
function similarly, it is especially important for students to
familiarize themselves with the technical demands and support
provided by non-Oakton hosted classes. While much of the information
presented here in the Online with Oakton Tech Resources
pages remains valid and valuable for all online courses, off-site
courses may have specific differences.
When you enroll in a non-WebCT course, you should receive a packet
of materials outlining technical requirements, login procedures
and related information. Please read through these materials thoroughly.
If you have any questions, check with your instructor first. If
you have a problem, your instructor will know whether it is something
that Oakton can help with or whether it must be resolved by the
off-site host.
