Uploading Files to WebCT

To copy a file from your local computer, a floppy disk, a zip disk or other storage drive to WebCT, follow these steps:

  1. Log in to your WebCT course
  2. Click on Manage Files from the Designer Links in the top left corner or from Control Panel
  3. From the Action menu on the right, scroll down and click on the grey  Upload button
  4. Click on the Browse button and select the file you wish to upload then click on Open
  5. When the path to the file is showing, click on Upload. The file should now appear in your My_Files folder in Manage Files.

Note that if you have a lot of files to upload, you can use the WebDAV function in WebCT. This function allows you to drag-and-drop multiple files or folders from your desktop right into your WebCT course.

Once the file is uploaded, you need to link it to your course

  1. Return to the Course Homepage (or other organizer page you want to display the presentation on)
  2. Click on Add Page or Tool on the Control Panel
  3. Click on Single Page
  4. Fill in the Title describing the file
  5. Next to Page filename: click on Browse to the file in your Manage Files directory and click next to it
  6. Click on the grey  Add selected button
  7. Choose to Open in New browser window
  8. Click to show the link On an Organizer page
  9. Click on the Add button at the bottom of the window

That's all there is to it!
