What's New In WebCT 4.0? - This web page provides screen shots and tutorials for the new, easier-to-use features in WebCT 4.0. We will be moving to WebCT 4.0 on September 2nd, 2003. Be sure to sign up for one of the transition classes if you would like some face-to-face instruction and a chance to try out the new interface before Fall term begins. Call me at 725-9116 or email me at mmlynch@pdx.edu for more information.
WebSurveyor - Websurveyor is survey software purchased by PSU that assists users in creating, publishing, and getting the results from online surveys quickly and easily. This is VERY easy to use, saves your data in a database, and it can be downloaded to Excel or SPSS for analysis. If you are doing research and want to use technology to collect data, this is your answer. Check out the link and sign up for an account. We will be offering a training class Winter term.
