Add Page or Tool

Use Add Page or Tool to add pages of course content, hyperlinks to websites, or WebCT tools to your course. You can add tools directly to the Homepage, or you can create an Organizer page on which you can group links to tools of similar function. You can also use Add Page or Tool to add a link to an external website, or to content on the WebCT e-Learning Hub.

Before you add a page or tool, you must decide these three points:

• the type of page or tool you want to add
• where you want to display the page or tool
• how you want the page or tool to appear as a hyperlink

Choosing the type of page or tool

There are five categories of pages or tools that you can add to your WebCT course. These are:

• Course content and related tools
• Communication tools
• Pages/URLs
• Evaluation tools
• Study tools

Choosing where to display the page or tool

You can display the page or tool

• as a hyperlink on the Navigation Bar at the left side of every page of your WebCT course
• as a hyperlink in the content area of the Homepage or an Organizer page

Note: if you want to add the page or tool to an Organizer page, first you must add the Organizer page before
adding the page or tool.

Choosing the appearance of the hyperlink

You can also choose the appearance of the hyperlink, if you are adding it to the Homepage or an Organizer
page. You can choose to display it as text only, as an icon only, or as an icon with a title.

Note: if you are adding the hyperlink to the Navigation Bar, it will appear as text only. If you are also adding it to the Homepage or an Organizer page, you have the option of displaying it as an icon with or without a title.
