WebCT
WebCT Campus Edition 6
What is WebCT Campus Edition 6?
WebCT (Web Course Tools) is a software suite
that is hosted by the university for use in traditional, hybrid (blended)
and fully online courses.
With WebCT Instructors are able to
post online files such as the course syllabus, study guides or lecture
notes. WebCT also allows for online quizzes, assignments, class mail and
discussion boards.
How do I access WebCT?
To access WebCT students and faculty will login to
UCONNECT. If your
course uses WebCT you can access it by clicking on the My Courses
tab, and then clicking the Click here to link. Clicking on the
blue title of your course will take you into the WebCT site for that
course. It should open in a new window and you can then navigate your
course.
If you click on the name of your course and it opens in the same
window with a "Course Homepage" then WebCT access has not been enabled. The
instructor might still be working on the information in the course.
Do I need to install anything on my home computer to use WebCT?
You should have everything you need already installed. The
main component of WebCT is the Java Runtime Environment. When you first
access WebCT it will run a quick browser check to ensure you have the
required features enabled. If you need to install Java
click here and follow the link for the
software download on the main page.
When you first access WebCT you should receive a notification to
accept the license from WebCT. Please click yes, this will allow you to continue
to connect to WebCT using the ideal settings for your machine.
WebCT also uses pop up windows to deliver some content. We
recommend turning off any pop up blockers you might have installed (Google
or Yahoo Toolbars, or Internet Explorer's built in blocker.) You do not need
to uninstall them, just disable it as you are working inside WebCT. This is
not a required step but you could miss important information if pop up
windows are blocked.
