"Don't let the title of the program fool you. The WebCT Certified Trainer program goes beyond typical technical training. Those of you who are tasked with teaching others on campus how to use WebCT, how to create instructionally sound courses, and love sharing your enthusiasm for online teaching and learning would not call yourself a trainer. You might call yourself a facilitator, a mentor, a teacher, or an instructional designer, but not a trainer. This discussion based program focuses on the techniques, strategies and methods for integrating teaching and learning principles, learning styles, and building online communities, while conducting WebCT training.
