Real-time

Refers to an event such as chat, which occurs in the moment. A telephone call is another example of real-time communication.

Reference

In WebCT, a tool that references an electronic footnote or citation. References are only used for materials within a Content Module. They reference the source material "resources" listed by the instructor. References and Resources are only created by the instructor. See Resource Bank

Resource Bank

In WebCT, the instructor/designer who wishes to use the Reference feature of a Content Module, must first create a list of resource materials for the course. Although References are specific to a content page, the Resource Bank is for the entire course and can be "Referenced" from any Content Module. The Resource Bank is equivalent to a bibliography in a paper document. See chapter on References.

Restore

In WebCT is referring to the act of overwriting a course with a previous backup of a course.
