How to use the Student Homepages Tool

WebCT homepages tool icon
Student Homepages allows you to create a personalized homepage that contains information about yourself, the projects you are working on, links to your favorite web sites, and perhaps personal information you want to share with your classmates. The Student Homepages screen displays links to all students registered in the course, only those students who have created a Homepage, or only your name, depending on administrator settings.

Some of the options you can add to your Student Homepages are:

  • links to your favorite web sites
  • customize page colors and layout
  • background image
  • banner, upper textblock, and lower textblock
From the WebCT course homepage, click on the Student Homepages link. The Student Homepages screen appears.
