Q: I have heard horror stories about instructors loosing their classes from the WebCT server. How can I avoid that catastrphe?

A: As with any other computer file, the answer is to back up your work! That's done from the Manage Course area of the Control Panel. Once that is done, download a copy of the backup to your local system.

Here is a link to a narrated interactive tutorial to show you how to do all of that:

Q: I have created a content module that I would like to use in some of my other sections. Is there an easy way to pull all those files together and transfer them between WebCT classes?

A: Yes, it's a new feature in our 4.1 version. It is in the Course Content component of the Control Panel and it is called Export (for the material you want to copy) or Import (for the material you want to insert into another class)

I have an exported content module that includes all of the WebCT related tutorials. It is stored on the share drive in the inst tech folder.

Q: I have created a study guide using MathType5. I followed the directions for creating the file for WebCT, uploaded and linked it. But, when I look at it there are all these funny  looking characters. What now?

A: I have no idea why the HTML file that comes out of MathType5 has these weird characters. The only way I could find to get rid of them was to edit the file, find them and delete them.
