Web CT

Last night at Guild Council I was asked a question regarding the performance of WebCT in the first few months of term. The University has recognised there some students are having problems logging-on and using the system. This is partly die to the fact that there has been at 30% increase in start of term log-ons by both students and staff. Some of the hardware is also reaching the end of its life-cycle.

The University are taking these issues very seriously and the performance of WebCT has already been discussed at the Learning and Teaching Committee. It has been decided to switch to Blackboard Managed Hostings which will have increased campacity and be more effective.

Feel free to email me any questions at t.marley@guild.bham.ac.uk
