From WebCT Wiki

If you do not have a content module you can create it easily. This is the type of process that you will do once per course, as it holds multiple files. A tool like Single Page only holds one file.

• Please note: in WebCT CE 6x Content Modules have been replaced by Learning Modules and Folders.

[edit] Creating a Content Module in WebCT 4.1

Content Module

• Click the Control Panel on the top left > Add Page or Tool > Content Module.
• Enter an name for your content module.
• Check-off where you want students to be able to link to this Content Module from, it is best to check off the 'Homepage' options and the 'Navigation Bar'.
• WebCT will choose default settings for things like the icon type, setting the icon is something to explore once you are comfortable with WebCT.
• Click step 3, 'Add' to finalize everything.

You should then find yourself at your course homepage with a new Content Module with a Backpack icon.

[edit] Adding Files

WebCT 4.1 has a good wizard to help you with this, look for 'Use Content Module Wizard' at the top right of your content module or follow the following steps.

Add File

• Click on your Content Module's icon (often a "little blue backpack'). Once you have entered the Content Module ensure that you are in 'Designer View' and select 'Add File'. You will be presented with a selection of files to choose from, these will all be files that end in .htm or .html

Description

• Your file might not be in the list of files as it probably has yet to be uploaded to WebCT, thus you want to press 'Browse'. This will launch the WebCT File Browser.
• Find the folder which contains your presentation.
• Check-off the main file for your presentation. Depending on the initial template you chose, when you link to the presentation you might have to select "frame.htm" or the "vt3_document.htm", whichever is present.
• Finish with this window by pressing 'Add selected'.
• Your file should now be in the 'Filename:' list and selected.
• Press Add and you are done.

You change the title by pressing 'Edit Titles' which is found on the right of the screen.

Remember when you are done using a Content Module you must 'Update Student View'.
