| How to get into and
use the online courseware !
LOGGING INTO WEBECT
(for students): -->
SECTION A First,
create your personal "myWebCT" screen
**NOTE: You will only need to do this the *FIRST* time you enter Concordia`s
WebCT system
----------------------------------------------------------
1. Go to: https://athena.concordia.ca:6999 (Netscape 4.7 is required)
2. Select: "Create myWebCT" [All subsequent times, select: "Log onto myWebCT"]
3. Fill in personal information: First name, Last Name, email address
4. Select your own personal WebCT ID and password of at least 4 characters
[Important Note! Both "WebCT ID" and "password" are "Case-sensitive".
In other words, "Gloria" is not the same as "gloria" You will have to
type it in later exactly as you entered it.)
5. You may, if you wish, also provide WebCT with an alternate, personal
question that it can ask you, should you forget you password. Then provide
the correct answer to this question. For example, the question may be,
"What was the name of my first dog?", to which the answer might be "Spot".
This final section is optional.
6. Click on "Continue" when done.
7. If your choice for personal WebCT ID is already taken, you will have
to modify it. If your choice is accepted, a box will appear for you to
enter your new "User name" and "Password" [NOTE: User name=WebCT ID]
8. You will arrive at your own, personal "myWebCT" screen. This will be
your portal for all your WebCT courses. You may "bookmark" this page or
add it to your "favourites" list.
9. You must now add your courses, one by one, to this portal. This is
a once only process for each course you have. After the courses have been
added, you may access them directly from this page (and switch from one
course to another without changing passwords). -->
SECTION B Add a course to your "myWebCT" screen
-------------------------------------
1. Click on "Add course" -The "Add course" screen will appear.
2. Select the appropriate "Category" for your course. Courses are typically
listed by department, in roughly the same order as in the Course Calendar
- Click on the department name in the left frame - The right frame will
display the names of courses and sections in your department.
3. Select the course and the exact section that you are in. -A new screen
opens, where you are asked to provide "User Name" and "Password" This
is *NOT* the WebCT ID and password you selected for your personal myWebCT
screen.
4. Your "User Name" and "Password" for each course in which you are registered
has been created for you by the system, according to the following formula:
User Name: the first 4 letters of your last name (The 1st letter must
be capitalized!) + the last 2 digits of your student number + the day
of your birth (2 digits)
Example: Student Name: Vanessa Lewis
Student No: 3562011
Date-of-Birth: February 08, 1976
User Name: Lewi1108
Password: your complete date-of-birth (YYMMDD) + the first 3 digits of
your student number.
Example: Date-of-Birth: 1976 / 02 / 28
Student No: 3562011
Password: 760228356
You will use this password only once for each course, and it should be
the same for all the courses in which you are registered.
5. Click on "Continue" - WebCT will confirm if the course was successfully
added
[Typical reason for failure might be:
-You may not have been sufficiently careful about capital and small letters;
-You may not have clicked on the correct section of your course
6. Once the course has been added, you may return to your "myWebCT" screen
directly, or you may continue to add courses.
