Online Supplemental Courses at UW

The University of Wyoming offers three online course platforms intended for use as supplements to classroom courses-- WebCT, eCompanion, and Course Studio, and a fourth, Sakai, on an experimental basis.

Students:

Trouble with connections to WebCT or eCompanion? Try the Online Course FAQ.

For a WebCT course, students create their own accounts and add themselves.

For an eCompanion course, student accounts are created by the eCollege system and students are added to courses automatically.

Instructions for reaching courses on both systems can be found in the Student Info section (see bar on the left, or http://uwyo.edu/ctl/Online_courses/student.htm).

Instructors:

For How-To information, please see the online course workshop notes. Course Studio provides communication and file-sharing tools, but no quizzing or grade maintenance, as do WebCT, eCompanion, and Sakai. See the Online Course Comparison for details.

Faculty request courses (on either platform) through the "Course Request" form in the "Faculty Resources" section (http://uwyo.edu/ctl/Online_courses/faculty.htm) after reading the subsidiary documents on that page.

For WebCT course, instructors need to create their own accounts as well as requesting courses. For an eCompanion course, faculty and student accounts are created by the eCollege system and added to the appropriate courses.

If you are having problems with the system, please call 766-5499 or e-mail ectltech@uwyo.edu. For common problems and their solutions, see the Online Course FAQ.
