Higher Education Market for Publisher e-Packs Delivered with WebCT Grew Sharply in First Half of 2001, New Data Shows

Jun 15, 2001
Commentary by Stephen Downes

WebCT press release highlighting the adoption of e-packs, publisher-provided materials for use in WebCT. Significant is their observation that e-Packs have become more popular because they make it easier for institutions to implement wide scale online learning. I think the e-packs are a good idea; I think that the exclusive deals with publishers is not. WebCT should launch a program encouraging all academics to create and market e-packs through their system. June 12, 2001.
