| Abstract Text: | Although obtaining, organizing and placing images into WebCT courses are not difficult things to do, most people either don't know how to do them well or don't know how to do them at all. This problem will be cured with a few simple bits of knowledge which enable instructors to produce dynamic WebCT pages. We will demonstrate how to obtain images from the Internet to use in content module pages of WebCT. Reducing their size, resolution and preparing them for the Internet will be shown. Organization means teachers will know where their imagery is being stored as well as shown. Teachers will learn how to keep images in the “Manage Files” folder and students will learn how to find images in the WebCT Image Data Base, as well as other locations within the website, including quizzes. The three primary ways to place imagery in WebCT will be shown; Links, placed on content module pages directing students to images in external web sites; pictures available for direct use in the Image Data Base pages; and pictures embedded with text on Content pages. Your home page does not need to be the only place in WebCT containing art. With the knowledge gained from this session your students will learn more, because you will be able to illustrate your lessons with everything from charts, graphs and maps to mathematic equations. This session is for everyone. No one is left out.
