When will academics be able to migrate to Wattle?
ANU Colleges are currently working with their academic staff to consider the best way to migrate to Wattle and a wide range of online and training services will become available from April 2009 to support the uptake of Wattle. WebCT can be used for courses until the end of Semester 1 2010.

There are a number of key points to migrate courses from WebCT to Wattle, or to begin using Wattle, throughout 2009 and the first half of 2010:
-- for courses in Semester 2 2009
-- for Summer school courses 2009-2010
-- for courses in Semester 1 2010
-- for Autumn and Winter school courses 2010 and finally
-- for courses in Semester 2 2010 - WebCT will not be available for Sem 2 2010

WebCT will continue to be supported until the the end of Semester 1 2010 on current plans.This timetable will be reviewed in Sept 2009 and in the case of unforeseen circumstances, will be revised.
