WebCT is the University's Learning Management System managed by Division of Information.

WebCT (which stands for Web Course Tools) is an online environment used by ANU Staff to provide electronic materials, activities and communication tools in support of teaching and learning. It is usually used as an adjunct to the face-to-face delivery of courses, enabling greater flexibility for students in their learning.

WebCT is used by Students to access those materials, activities and tools.

A WebCT site is created for every course offered at the ANU each time it is run.  Staff can access the course site one month before the start of the session (Semester 1, Semester 2, Summer, Winter, Spring) in which the course is offered. All students formally enrolled in a course automatically have access to the WebCT site, generally within 24 hours of enrolling but no more than a week before the session starts.

The coordinator (convenor, chair of examiners) of a course should automatically be the "Primary Designer" of the course WebCT site. The Primary Designer has the ability to add or remove other "Designers"; also to add Students who may be participating but not formally enrolled. If you are responsible for a course but do not have access to the WebCT site, email your name, University ID and Course Code to timetabling@anu.edu.au and ask to be made a course co-ordinator.  WebCT access should be granted within about 3 days of this request.
