Instructional Scenarios Wiki

Welcome to the Instructional Scenarios Wiki! This site is designed and maintained by the Teaching Technology Services group of Instructional Multimedia Services of McGill University. This wiki describes how to use WebCT Vista to do complex instructional tasks using multiple tools. We (the Teaching Technology Services staff) built this wiki to explore the potential of the technology and to experiment with collaborative group work. These instructional scenarios are meant as a complement to the WebCT Vista manuals and do not duplicate any information from them.


Below you will find links to instructional scenarios that you might find helpful in your own teaching and learning using WebCT Vista. Enjoy!


Content Scenarios

Content scenarios describe procedures such as customizing your course, up/downloading and managing web-ready course materials, creating structured student-centered learning pathways, and selectively releasing components based on criteria.
