navigating SFU’s learning management system
Wikimedia Commons has a variety of media items available for use (including photographs, diagrams, animations, music, spoken text, video clips, and more). This list of subjects neatly indexes the icons available. A very nice resource if you want new or more appropriate icons for your WebCT course container.
Currently, instructors are unable to prevent students from making public entries in the calendar. This is due to a small big in WebCT - in rare instances, if students are allowed to make private entries only, the entry can appear in the institutional calendar, and viewable to all. To prevent this from happening, the WebCT administrators at SFU have changed a setting that means instructors cannot prevent students from making public entries.
The work-around is to advise the students not to make public entries in the course calendar.
This bug has been reported to WebCT, and they are working on it for a future release.
