Do I need to know HTML to use WebCT?
No. It is not necessary to know HTML code to take a WebCT course. Many courses require no HTML pages (such as those using e-mail, discussion board, etc.). Some professors will stipulate that files must be Word documents or Excel spreadsheets. Should an HTML file be needed, code generation can be done with software tools specifically designed to generate HTML pages such as Netscape Composer. Do not use Word to creat HTML documents, as it inserts extraneous code, thus distorting the content of the page. It also embeds graphics into the file that creates some incompatibility with WebCT.
