I hate WebCT

Filed under: General - Mark @ 10:20 am

 

I am just so sick of it! My Uni used to use an old version of WebCT, and I liked that one. It was fast and easy to use. This new WebCT (WebCT Vista) is jsut horrible.

You can’t bookmark pages (they all just lead back the main page), it uses java and javascript for doing every single function (what was wrong with good old HTML?) and therefor I am constantly harrased by my popup blocker. If you go to download a file, IE blocks the request, and when you accept the request WebCT dumps you back at the main page – not at the downloads page, so you have to go and navigate through twenty levels of menus to find the document you want.

It’s overbloated. Thousands of features that all course providers feel the need to enable but will never ever use. Somehow I managed to change my colour scheme to a disgusting pink/green colour and I’ve no fucking idea how to put it back to a more eye-friendly design (and I look like a fag when I open webct in class).

Thank God this is the last week I will ever have to use that horrible application.

The worst interface colour scheme ever?

  3. Mark that was so damn halarious! Yeh my uni also used an old version of webct and i had no problems using that either but this new Vista webct is so fucken shit! It takes like 5 minutes to load and i have a fast computer, half the time the severs down and when i eventually do get on it, it either freezes or displays half a screen. I hate Vista! i hate it so fucking much that i googled “i hate webct vista” whilst my computer was stuggling to display half a screen of pure webct vista shit
