CD-ROM allows you to access specific files
from a CD-ROM at your own computer instead of downloading them from the
WebCT server. To use CD-ROM, you'll need
to get a copy of the required CD-ROM from your instructor. Note:
if you are unable to obtain a copy of the CD-ROM, you can still access
the files, if your instructor has uploaded them to the WebCT server.
Before you can use a CD-ROM, you have to tell WebCT where to find it.
- Insert the disc into your CD-ROM drive
- Click CD-ROM in WebCT. The CD-ROM
Selection Screen opens.
- To view the CD-ROMs available for your course, click the arrow in
the drop-down list on the left. Select the CD-ROM that you want to
access by clicking on its name in the list.
- Specify the location of the CD-ROM drive on your computer. For example,
if your CD-ROM drive is mapped to "D:", then enter D: in the Path/Drive
to the CD-ROM text box. Macintosh users should specify the
volume label for the CD-ROM.
- To save your CD-ROM settings, Click Update.
- When you encounter a reference to a multimedia element in a course
file, click on the reference's hyperlink to view the element.
Using the CD-ROM Tool without a CD-ROM
If you do not have a copy of the CD-ROM, you can still view the files.
- Click CD-ROM in WebCT. The CD-ROM
Selection Screen opens.
- Click the arrow in the drop-down menu on the left to view the CD-ROM
files for your course.
- Select the CD-ROM file that you want to access by clicking on its
name in the list.
- Click Reset. This clears the Path/Drive
to the CD-ROM text box. Your computer will now read the files
from the server.
- When you encounter a reference to a multimedia element in a course
file, click on the reference's hyperlink to view the element.
Note: multimedia elements take a long time
to open.
