What was WebCT?

Web CT (aka Web Course Tools) – was a learning management system used by the Non-traditional Doctor of Pharmacy Program (NTPD) at Ohio State from 2002-2005, one of the first online degree programs at the university. Lecture capture software based on Quicktime was used to record PharmD lectures and retransmit to online students. Asynchronous online courses in Web CT were the NTPD program’s primary mode of instruction in the didact portion of the program. Later Web CT was purchased by the company behind the Blackboard LMS, used by Columbus State Community College and many other schools. Web CT was the world’s first widely successful course management system for higher education.
