Tips for WebCT
Success:
Expect to spend several weeks getting acquainted with WebCT functions.
Keep your classroom simple at first. Using
just a few WebCT tools can make a very effective classroom. You will become
familiar with it as you develop and use your course.
Give students specific assignments in the
WebCT classroom. (For instance, you could require that they post at least 5
Discussion topic postings.) This will get them involved using the
classroom.
If you want to use a WebCT tool, but are not
sure how it works support is available on line. Help is available by clicking
the Help link located in the top menu bar on the upper right hand corner of your course pages. There are
also reference guides that provide in-depth
step-by-step instructions for most commonly used WebCT tools. These can be
found here.
WebCT will give error messages from time to
time. Not all of them mean anything serious. You can usually read them and
follow their instructions to get to the next step. Many of them can be
disregarded. If you get stuck and don't know what to do, call the Help Desk at
201-216-5500. Don’t let the error messages intimidate you.
You cannot break WebCT!
