The
conversion from WebCT/MyCourses to
Sakai@UD has been so successful that no
courses remain on MyCourses (WebCT) for
the spring semester. This spring, there
are 1,226 Sakai@UD courses,
representing 40 percent of all
University rosters and 48 percent of
University undergraduate
enrollment.
UD's WebCT server will be turned off after the spring 2010 semester. Therefore, any WebCT content or data that a faculty member might wish to use later must be copied by June 4, 2010.
