WebCT channel
Available in the Clearinghouse is a WebCT integration channel in two version flavors, 1.1 and 1.2. This code has also been drawn into JA-SIG SVN for aggressive refactoring towards a 3.0 version.
The WebCT uPortal 2 channel provides direct access to the user's WebCT home page. Single sign on is implemented using a shared secret file. The Channel has been tested with WebCT versions 3.8-4.1 - Campus Edition. This implementation is derived from code supplied by WebCT and Netspot (http://www.netspot.com.au). The channel was skinned, and links to courses open in separate windows since there is no way back to the portal from a WebCT course. An ant build process was added to simplify installation. Version 1.2 provides support for uPortal 2.4.+, CE and Vista, multi-institutional support and the ability to provide separate channels for users, calendar and staff thanks to the work of Patrick Berry and Freddy Lopez.
