Learning Object Import
WebCT Campus Edition 4.0 makes it possible to create content modules offline using applications such as Microsoft FrontPage and Microsoft PowerPoint, and to directly import these objects into WebCT, with all of their structure and linking intact. Learning objects, including both content modules and the assessment suite, can also be tagged and exported for storage or re-use.

Browser Checker
WebCT Campus Edition 4.0 includes a browser checker that automatically detects whether or not the user's browser is supported by WebCT. If the browser is not supported, users are given the option of downloading a supported browser. The browser checker provides automatic troubleshooting, which enhances the user experience and helps to reduce support call volume on campus.
