Before logging in, it is highly recommended that you perform a browser check to see if your computer is properly configured to use WebCT. This browser check will ensure your browser is configured so the complete functionality of this application is available to you.

WebCT also automatically checks to determine if Java is installed and enabled in your browser and if your Java Virtual Machine (JVM 5.0) version is supported. You must have a supported JVM version to use certain features and tools in WebCT. If Java is disabled or if your JVM version is unsupported, a warning message is displayed when you access WebCT.

Use your Computing id and CWEM password to log into WebCT:

• The username of WebCT is the same as your Computing id (e.g. s031234 or b987654)
  
  
• Your password is the same as your CWEM password. Whenever you change your CWEM password, the change will reflect on your WebCT password also.

You can edit your personal profile by clicking the link My Settings at the top right conner. Under the My Tool Options, you can forward all WebCT mail messages to the e-mail address set in My Profile.

After log in WebCT, you will enter the page, "My Courses". It provides you with centralized access to all of your enrolled courses. Additional Channels provide you information about the site and your courses. You can hide or show channels, and change the order and location in which channels display.

Mail can be used to exchange messages with other WebCT users, but it cannot be used to exchange messages over the Internet. This ensures that you do not receive undesired or irrelevant messages from external sources and contributes to the stability of the messaging system by limiting exposure to viruses. You can forward a copy of WebCT mail message to your external mailbox. The Mail Forwarding option is set in "My Settings"

Calendar allows you to view and create dated reminders about events. Entries can be viewed for a day, week or month.

The Discussions tool allows you to post and reply to messages. Depends on the teacher's setting, you can ask questions, generate discussion, and share feedback and ideas. Section Instructors can assign grades for participation, just as they would in a classroom course.

The Assessments tool is used to deliver online tests on course content.

You use the Assignments tool to view, submit, and publish assignments.
