Due for a January launch, early adopters will be testing out the new WebCT Vista. Vista is a powerful tool which expands upon Campus Edition 4.0 particularly in the department of user-friendliness. For example, instructors who are developing their course shells, are given direct link access to most of the functions which are supplemented with pictures for quick-find. I also found that the Vista experience reduced navigation confusion which was inherent in the 4.0 edition from things like the "control panel". Additionally, the integrated user-interface allows for easy navigation which should provide more efficiency for professors seeking to build their shells to share with students.
