Change your name

Friday, June 9th, 2006

WebCT automatically shows your legal name, which in some cases, isn’t what everyone knows you by.

So now students can easily change thier name in WebCT.

Faculty and staff just have to follow the second half of the directions; emailing csinfo@sfu.ca. Tell csinfo@sfu.ca what your preferred name it, and that you want it changed in WebCT.

Why I chose to create yet another blog

Friday, June 9th, 2006

These days I’ve been spending many of my working hours working with WebCT users at SFU, trying to help people plan their courses, deliver their content, and generally navigate WebCT sucessfully.

I needed a place where I could record answers and questions in a less formal manner, and record work-arounds that I don’t know where to place elsewhere. This format of course, also allows for comments or counter arguments. I’m also going to invite my colleagues (well, some of them!) to add postings here, so we’ll get a broader look at it all.

So here goes, another place to figure stuff out (and no, the answer in WebCT is never 42).
