Managing and Submitting Assignments in WebCT

Please use this method to submit your assignments. This allows your instructor to grade the assignment in WebCT. If you have problems following these directions, please contact your instructor.

 

  1. Create a folder on your jump drive and name it WebCTFiles. If you have more than one WebCT class, you may want to create a separate folder for each class. NOTE: If you are working on a computer on campus, DO NOT create folders on the computer. Put them on your jump drive!
    1. Turn your computer on. Do not start any programs.
    2. Open My Computer.
    3. Open the jump drive (double click on its icon)
    4. On the left side of the screen, click Make a new folder.
    5. Name the folder WebCTFiles (or the name of the class). You will see your new folder.
  2. Open Microsoft Word or the word processing program you are using.
  3. Complete your assignment.
  4. Save your assignment to the WebCTFiles folder on your jump drive.         
    1. If you are using Microsoft Word, just save the file to the WebCTFiles folder.
    2. If you are using another word processing program (examples: WordPerfect or Microsoft Works), click File, Save As and change the file type to Rich Text Format (filename.rtf), and save the file to the WebCTFiles folder.
  5. Go back to the Assignment page in the WebCT course Web site. Click the link for the assignment you have just finished.
  6. Click Upload Files located at the bottom of the assignment page. The next screen will show a Filename box. Do not type anything in this box.
