  About HuskyCT
   
"The Blackboard Learning System™ - Vista Enterprise License"
 
 
The e-learing system currently in use at UConn is "The Blackboard Learning System™ - Vista Enterprise License", more commonly referred to as WebCT Vista or Vista. Prior to Fall 2005, the system in use was WebCT Campus Edition 3.8. During the year-long transition from WebCT Campus Edition 3.8 to WebCT Vista both systems were in use. In Februrary 2006, when WebCT, Inc. was acquired by Blackboard, Inc. the name changed again. In order to simplify the way in which we refer to this new product, both now and in the future, UConn has chosen to use the name HuskyCT for its online course management system.
 
HuskyCT (WebCT Vista) is considered an “academic enterprise system" as it integrates with administrative systems such as PeopleSoft and also provides the ability to make resource materials available across schools and by the university as a whole.
 
Instructors seeking assistance with HuskyCT should call the IRC at (860) 486-5052. Frequently we can resolve basic problems over the phone, but we also encourage faculty to schedule appointments for more extensive assistance. This would include help with building a HuskyCT course site for the first time or learning how to use some of the more complex features such as the quiz and survey tool.
