Password Protection: How can I require password authentication on course web pages?
Password protection of web pages requires script execution, and whether such processing is allowed, and in what form, depends on the web page server. If allowed on that server, you can write and call the script in plain old HTML with Javascript, or probably with some kind of helpful interface in standard web authoring tools like Nvu or Dreamweaver. If your page is on the academic server (scenario 1 above), your IT user consultant can help you. Or consider an online courses, using either eCompanion or WebCT, or Course Studio (option 3 above), which you already have in the WyoWeb portal, which provides exactly what you want– a password-protected repository of course materials.
