| Abstract | Web-based distance education relies on communication tools to allow students and instructor to collaborate and to decrease the isolation often present in these courses. These tools are often packaged in Course Management Systems such as WebCT, BlackBoard, and free counterparts such as Manhattan and Moodle. These systems provide communication tools such as electronic bulletin boards, chatrooms and sometimes even online “white boards” as well as tools for grading and quiz creation. They allow (require) instructors to upload their course materials. But, today, almost anyone can create a course web site. It is this site that students perceive as the course, not the Course Management System. OfCourse! is a set of tools that instructors can integrate into their pre-existing web courses to maintain the feel of being in a course not a Course Management System. |
