What is myWebCT?

myWebCT is an area to organize your access to your course web pages. It provides a menu and a global (single-password) login to all your courses. myWebCT also provides some content highlights for each course you load into your myWebCT area. Not only is myWebCT helpful, it is required -- you can only access courses that you add to your myWebCT menu.

What's my WebCT e-mail address?

You don't actually have a WebCT e-mail address. The mail tool in your course is only for use within the course. It's actually more a "message" tool than an "email" tool.

To use it, just go back to your course pages, find a link to the mail tool, open it, select "compose new message," use the browse button to find your instructor's name, select it, press "done", and then compose your message. An attachment can be sent using the buttons near the bottom of that screen.

How do I set up a new course?

Go to Request to the form "Create A New Course" and complete the form. You will be notified when the course has been created. UTMB has a site license for WebCT, so it is available immediately at no cost to you. See the Designer Guide for more assistance. The best way to incorporate material into a web is to put it into HTML. You can easily create and edit HTML documents in FrontPage and in Word. When your documents are ready, you will copy them to your course.
