During Fall semester 2009 you may have classes in both
WebCT and
eLearning Commons.
Contact your instructors to find out which system is being used for each of your classes. WebCT will be retired at the end of Fall semester 2009.
Getting Started with eLearning Commons
eLC Browser Issues
eLearning Commons requires that you configure your computer's browser and other settings for optimum performance.
"My Computer" Icon is not displaying when I attempt to upload a file or attachment to eLC
This is an issue related to the version of Java on your computer. The help doc gives instructions on how you can upload files/attachments now, and how to get the correct version of Java.
eLC Student Orientation
The Student Orientation pages provide an overview of the eLearning Commons system and detailed eplanations of the eLC tools that your instructors may be using in your course.
Student FAQ
Student Help with eLearning Commons
Most student problems with eLC are most often related to the settings on individual computers. The operating system of the computer, the version of JAVA on the computer, and the internet browser being used, combined with the settings for each, can affect access to eLC and affect the functionality of eLC tools.
There is a "check browser" button in the upper right corner of the eLC pages, on the same line as the "Help" and "Logout" links. Click the "check browser" button and a pop-up window should open and give you the status of the browser check and provide suggestions to remedy your settings if they are not proper for eLC.
eLC is powered by Blackboard Vista 8. You may access their Browser Tuneup page at: http://www.webct.com/tuneup.
