Webcourses@UCF Support Services

Student studying on laptop

Created in June 2006 to provide technical support to online course instructors, the Webcourses@UCF Support team has since expanded to include online student support services as well as course development support for certified faculty and staff. The Webcourses@UCF Support team has formerly been known as the Information Technology Group (ITG) and Online@UCF Support.

At the time our team was formed, our Learning Management System (LMS) was WebCT. Since then, we have migrated, first to Blackboard and now to Canvas.

How We Do It

Webcourses@UCF Support troubleshoots technical issues and provides how-to instructions to students, faculty, and staff over the phone, online, and face-to-face. IDL6543-trained faculty may also submit course development work requests, which are handled on a case-by-case basis. Webcourses@UCF Support accesses courses to resolve technical issues. Unless the instructor submits a work request, we do not access courses to change content.

Webcourses@UCF Support employees are unable to add themselves to a course in which they are enrolled as a student. It is our standard policy that our technical support staff unenroll themselves after a request is completed.
