WebCT FAQ
course content
When I go to the course contents, I only see a few topics but I know there
are more. Where are they?
On the Course Contents page there will be a list of links. Some of them may
represent categories. A right-facing arrow indicates that a category is collapsed
- you can only see the top-level content page. If you click on the right-facing
arrow, the arrow will become a down-facing arrow, and a list of subcategories
will appear below the main category. Clicking on the down-facing arrow will
once again collapse the category so that only the category heading is visible.
Another possibility is that your instructor may not have made available all
of the topics yet. You may see more topics added to the course as the semester
progresses. Check with your instructor if you are unsure.
I see more than one set of navigation buttons (back, previous, next, forward,
etc.). Which ones do I use?
You should use the navigation buttons within WebCT. Your browser window also
has back and forward buttons, but the difference is that using the Previous
button in WebCT will show you the previous page on the Course Content Path,
not necessarily the previous page that you visited. The back button on the
browser will take you to the previous page you visited, not necessarily the
previous page on the Course Content Path. In other words, WebCT's navigation
buttons will take you in a linear fashion through the course content, whereas
your browser navigation buttons will retrace whichever pages you have visited,
whether part of WebCT or not.
