Your Name, WebCT ID, Email Address, Phone Number, Institution, Course

How to Access WebCT
1. You need to have access to a web browser
You can access WebCT from any computer with a browser. You should be
using Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.0 or 5.5 or Netscape Communicator
4.5 to 4.77. WebCT does not officially support any other browsers.
2. Go to: http://webct.ctdlc.org
Enter the above address in your browser (e.g. Internet Explorer) to
get to the CTDLC WebCT server.
3. Log In
Click "My WebCT" and enter your WebCT ID and password.
IMPORTANT: Make sure you fill in the Login Hint, in case you forget
your password.
How to Make Your Microsoft Word ready for WebCT
Creating files for WebCT is the same as making a web page. You can use
a HTML Editor like Microsoft Front Page or Macromedia Dreamweaver, or
you can use Microsoft Word. Word 97 and newer allows users to save
their Word documents into web pages by simply choosing "Save as Html”
or “Save as Web Page.”
Once you have done that, the document is ready to be placed in WebCT.
Tips
Making Edits: To make edits in your html file, you need to open up the
file via the Microsoft Word
program. It will convert the Word html file to a Word document file to
enable you to make edits.
When done, "Save" your file since the document is an html file
already, just plain "Save."
Formatting: Use bold, italics and underline and keep everything left,
center or right justified, otherwise your formatting might be
different in an html format.
Fixing spacing problems: Sometimes spacing changes when a file is
saved as an html file. If that happens, place your cursor at the
beginning of the text you want to move up to create the single space.
Hold down "Shift" and hit "Enter" on your keyboard. This is called a
soft return.
Web Preview: Check out how your file will look on the web by going to
"File" and scrolling down
to "Web Page Preview." It is easier to make edits now by going back
and forth between the html
file and the Word document file before uploading your file later.
Create a title for your document
Creating a title for your document, e.g. Syllabus, is not the same as
saving it as "syllabus.doc." The title shows up later when it is later
uploaded into WebCT, so it is important to name the title of your
paper in the proper place. To do this:
1. Go to "File" and scroll down to "properties"
2. Type the title of your paper in the box, e.g. "Syllabus"
How to add content to your WebCT Course
