A web-based course management system used for online learning and educational content delivery.
Acronym for Web Course Tools, developed in the 1990s during the early expansion of internet-based education. The platform was created at the University of British Columbia and became one of the first major learning management systems.
WebCT represents a pivotal moment in educational history when the internet transformed from a research tool into a classroom itself. Though now largely obsolete, it pioneered features we take for granted in modern online learning - discussion boards, assignment submissions, and grade tracking all in one digital space.
