Do You Have WebCT "Work in Progress"?

Are you using WebCT this semester as a place to store your syllabus and other documents for your face-to-face course? If so, please note that unless you have specifically asked that students be blocked from accessing the course, they are free to log in and see your "work in progress." The course creation form that you submitted in order to get a WebCT shell specified that the course would be available to students on the first day of class (unless you checked other options). Some of you may not yet be ready to have students access your WebCT course. If you'd like to block them from doing so, please contact Chris Palmarini (895-2988) or Dave Stephens (895-2964). They'll change the settings so students can only access your course when suitable course materials are available to them. Thanks so much for your understanding, and your patience. We are serving thousands of students through WebCT and more than a hundred faculty and we want to make your experience with the new version a good one!
