How to Orient Your Students to WebCT

1. Pre-Scheduled WebCT Student Orientation Sessions

Group Orientation sessions are scheduled for the first 3 weeks of each semester. Please feel free to send your students to these Orientation Sessions and let us introduce them to WebCT. The WebCT Orientation session takes about 1 hour and serves as an introduction to WebCT including:

• How to login
• How to change your password
• How to use course tools such as email, chat, and the discussion boards
• How to turn in assignments online
• How to complete quizzes online

Because students log into the actual WebCT course they are registered for, attendance in the orientation session will ensure that students learn how to login and access your course---which often is one of the biggest obstacles to success.

We now offer students who attend and successfully complete the WebCT Student Orientation Session a CERTIFICATE OF ATTENDANCE. This certificate can be used as proof of attendance if you decide to require students to attend one of the orientation sessions, or as offer bonus points for attendance.

Check the WebCT Student Orientation page for times and dates
