    what links are you referring to? please post them here so we can see them.

    The capellasucks.us' links page only has one link: universityofphoenixsucks.com.

    You care mentioning them?

    Capella has recently introduced WebCT to some of its courses. Many universities use it. The author of capellasucks.us has a huge beef against the use of WebCT. As far as I know, WebCT has been for the most part compliant with WC3 standards.

    Anyways, Capella offers a free entry level course for new students. You can try and judge for yourself if you like the format. Its not for everyone but it wouldn't hurt to try if you are so interested in Capella.
    I would do that rather than keep asking the same questions over and over, unless you have a hidden agenda.

    In any case, it sounds like you have made up your mind on Capella. So you might want to ask the board about other potential schools that offer programs of your interest. Don't get me wrong, but you are pretty new here (and most of these Capella haters mysteriously pop out of nowhere, with maybe the exception of one person) and you don't seem to have any interest in other schools other than Capella, which raises another red flag.

    So I'd encourage you to check out other schools like Walden, Nova and many others if you don't think Capella will fit your needs. There are many knowledgeable people in this forum that will be more than happy to introduce you to these other schools.

    I think susieb is referring to the links found in the Resources area of that web site. These links are not specifically Capella related links. Rather, they are links associated with WebCT. Capella, like many other universities, does use WebCT as the technology platform for delivering content and instruction online. There are no perfect platforms and each one would provide its own set of strengths and challenges.

    Title IV refers to federal financial aid.

    I thought so too at first. Susieb makes it sound like all of these links focus exclusively on Capella, but after careful review I didn't find any of that to be the case either.

    You are right about WebCT. Its widely used by many universities, but it is not perfect. It has its strengths and weaknesses. Some students might love its format, others might hate it.
