Most Wright State Web-based distance learning courses take place in a course management system called Pilot. It gives you discussion forums, quizzes, online grade books and many other features you may use to taylor your virtual classrooms to your needs.
The CTL has secured site licenses for several applications faculty can use to create content for Pilot. With Respondus, you can easily create quizzes offline for use in Pilot.

Live Online Distance Learning
In addition, faculty can do live, interactive sessions online through a system called Blackboard Collaborate™, formerly called Elluminate. As students watch your PowerPoint presentation and listen to your live narration, they may participate by asking questions, speaking to the class, answering polls, taking quizzes, drawing on a white board, typing messages in a chat box, and more.
