Internet Service Provider
HINT: WebCT will be easier to access on some ISPs over others that provide their own web interfaces/browsers. If your ISP provides its own browser, a good practice is to use the ISP to log on to the Internet, but then minimize the ISP’s browser and use a WebCT-recommended browser.
We have found that the recommendations here work successfully with UALR’s current version of the WebCT software.
