Tip 2a: What are those icons under the course name?


The icons under the course name are another way to get into your course. If there are new Email, quizzes, assignments, discussion items, calendar items, or grades, then you may be able to click on these links to take you directly to those items. For example, if you notice a icons of an envelope, this means there is new Email. If you click on that icon, you would taken directly to the Email tool within WebCT and you can read those messages. NOTE - Each instructor has the choice to show the icons as a link, without an link, or not show them at all. (See Fig. N1-2)
