Create and Download WebCT Course Backups

Over on the WebCT Gateway site, there is a new screencast available, on creating and downloading course backups in WebCT CE 4.1. As noted there, this is a visual representation of information that is available in the WebCT help files. For your convenience, the direct link to the .mov file is also available here.

I’ve also taken this opportunity to experiment a bit with google video. The Google Video version is fuzzier and smaller, but you can get a general idea of where things are from watching it.

Deleting students from your WebCT course

Here’s a short clip describing how to remove students from your WebCT course. It shows how to remove student at a time, as well as a number of students at once.
Note that you should probably download a backup copy of the grade book (select download from the leftmost drop-down box) before doing this. Also, after deleting multiple students, you will want to select “show all students” from the drop-down box, so that you can once again see your current class.
