How do I edit the content in my module?
Under the Build tab of your WebCT module, each item has a drop-down Action Links menu to the right of its title or icon. Anything you can do to a particular item is available with the functions contained within this menu. It will look similar to the illustration below, though options vary according to item type.


From here, clicking on Edit Properties will give you the option of editing the properties of a particular item, including Title and Content. Here, as illustrated above, you will also find options that allow you to set release criteria for that particular item, or to delete it.

Each item also has an Actions Links menu beside each item under the Teach tab. Options here though are more limited. These generally only give the ability to Go to file, Edition description and Hide or Show items.

HTML files can also be edited in File Manager, under the Build tab, where each file has an Action links option.

Possible benefits - Web links allow people to access resources outside WebCT

Ideas on how to use this - Use some internet favourites you have used on your course on WebCT so your students could access them.
