Online Course Materials - Overview
You can use the "Faculty Page to Post Online Course Materials" and the Online Course Materials link to these materials will be created automatically. Click here to do this.
OR‚
You can control the Online Course Materials links for your course. (click here to do it)
Possible misconception:
You don't put materials into the Online Course Materials site. You put the materials anywhere (as long as a browser can reach them). We recommend that you post them on a server called “academics” (academics.eckerd.edu), but you can post the materials anywhere you wish – on the “acasun” server (home.eckerd.edu) or on a commercial site. Some materials might be provided by the publisher of the class textbook and posted on their site.
Correct procedure:
You post the material using the "Faculty Page to Post Online Course Materials" and the program creates the link automatically.
OR
You control the links on the Online Course Materials site (this includes limiting access to resources). Click here for step by step directions.
In either case, this provides students with one place where they can find electronic materials for all their courses.
A document, Technology for Professors -- A Users Guide, gives lots of information in one document. Click here to obtain an MSWord version or a PDF version.
The Online Course Materials Site (http://intranet.eckerd.edu/cyberlyceum.php) is the web site created to communicate your course information. It provides a single web site for students to access electronic information about all courses. By default the courses are listed by discipline, showing all sections of all courses for the current term. A search option allows access to courses from prior terms. You can limit access to resources through the Online Course Materials web site. If you use WebCT, please use the Online Course Materials WebCT link (one link) to direct students to resources posted through WebCT. For resources not posted through WebCT, please use the Online Course Materials web site (separate links) to provide links to the following resources:
1. Main link -- course web site,
2. syllabus,
3. unofficial grades. Directions for entering grades. Site for entering unofficial grades,
4. folder for class handouts. Directions for handouts folder. Site to control handouts icon.

7. office hours. Directions for office hours Site for entering office hours.
8. materials if the campus is closed
9. pre- class (Warm-up) questions*
10. library electronic reserve materials Directions for electronic reserve material
We recommend that you post information (in electronic form) and then change the links in the Online Course Materials site to direct students to these resources. We also encourage you to utilize the interactive web capability available through discussion groups, chat rooms, pre-class (Warmup) questions, in-class polling, Tablet computers, and any other resources that suit your teaching style.
You can post through WebCT or post without using WebCT. (Click for this option called FTP. Directions for Windows FTP. or Directions for Macintosh FTP) We provide either or both to accommodate your personal preferences and teaching style.
