UMassD WebCT Vista Renamed to myCourses |
Beginning with the Winter/Spring 08 terms, UMass Dartmouth fully online and blended courses (face-to-face classes that have an online component) that run on the WebCT Vista learning management system will be called myCourses. The new branding of our learning management system reflects our desire to remove the product-specific name and avoid confusion with the newly released Microsoft’s Windows Vista operating system.
