Minutes WebCT Users Group - September 20, 2006 

 

Attended Meeting: Diana Breed, Linda Gregg, Terri Martinez , Anne Mason, Thomas Schuett e, Misa Vening, James Grover, Kurt Chambers, Julie Magadar, Donna Gaudet, Terry Ponder, Melanie Kroening, Martin Lehner, and Peggy Johnson.

Melanie identified the most commonly asked questions by faculty using the new version of WebCT (6.0) at MCC this fall. The hand-out she used can be accessed WebCT 6.0 FAQ's.

You can hear Melanie's presentation and see what was showing on the projector screen (computer windows) as you review the hand-out by clicking on this link http://140.198.75.93/acmcontent/7a51f532-28f8-4e13-b42d-8c437419cc51/CTL_Test_2006-09-20_04-00-PM_files/flash_index.htm When you access this link, it will resemble a Powerpoint presentation you are viewing. Ignore the first five slides that appear (these slides were from another workshop). Start with slide 6 (time shows as 7:44 into the presentation) and you'll by listening to Melanie's presentation.

The CTL website has some VERY helpful resources their WebCT 6.0 updates page at http://www.mc.maricopa.edu/other/ctl/_ctl_SD/resources/WebCTsixo.html . Documents and/or movies showing how to accomplish specific tasks such as customizing the look & feel of the course colors and course menus or customizing icons can be found there. Check it out!
