Faculty WebCT
Faculty WebCT, what you need to do to get started: New- UNM-Gallup Faculty E-Learning Policy & Procedures
Request a WebCT Course and/or UNM-Gallup Teaching Excellence Committee Tutorial. You will need to complete this process each semester you wish to use WebCT.
- (Optional) If you wish to combine multiple sections of the same course into one WebCT section, submit a Cross-listing request. Login using your UNM NetID and password. You will receive e-mail confirmation once the cross-listing has been completed.
- Login to WebCT at http://vista.unm.edu using your UNM NetID and password.
- Build your course. Note: You may reuse content from a previous WebCT course you taught. To reuse content from WebCT Vista (in use at UNM Spring 2008 through present), see Copy Content from Another Course. To reuse content from WebCT Campus Edition (in use at UNM through Summer 2006), see Convert Your Campus Edition Course.
- Students will have access to your course the date the course is scheduled to begin (typically, the first day of the term). Students continue to have access for two weeks after the course ends, although instructors also have the option to deny students access once the term ends. Note: Instructors will still see students listed in the Grade Book and Roster (if the Roster tool is enabled), even when students do not have access before the term begins and after the term ends.
For further information on using WebCT, see How to Use WebCT for Faculty documentation online. You might also be interested in participating in online or face-to-face WebCT Training. Also, if you need additional design assistance, you may request WebCT Tech Support or email webct@unm.edu, to give Coleen Arviso, UNM ID: ccarviso, privileges as a Designer. Please ensure you add the subject code, course number, section number and term for the course. The instructor of the course can grant someone a Designer role using these instructions: Add a designer or TA in WebCT. These instructions also contain a link to a document that explains what each role can do.
FYI: There are 3 types of courses in WebCT (online, hybrid and web-enhanced):
An online course is one which learners access primary content and instruction using a variety of tools including email, chat, discussion boards, web pages, and multimedia technologies.
A hybrid course is a blend of face-to-face instruction with online learning using WebCT. Hybrid courses move about half of course learning online and, as a result, reduce the amount of classroom seat time.
A web-enhanced course is a traditional face-to-face course that uses WebCT to expand student learning beyond the boundaries of the classroom.
Teaching Excellence Committee has useful training opportunity created by Mr. Thomas Kaus.
