WebCT Faculty Tip Sheets


Course Menu:
Inserting Blank Spaces Between Links

Your WebCT Course Menu appears either as a dropdown box or in a gray area to the left of your course. Here, you can add links to help students navigate through your course. Adding spacers between the links helps you organize the links into groups. Here's a tip on how to add blank spaces between links that appear on the Course Menu.

Step 1: Create blank Organizer Pages for each spacer

  1. Click on Add Page or Tool
  2. Click Organizer Page
  3. For the title, enter any text between brackets <> as shown below. (Using numbers <1> will help you keep track of how many spacers to add to the course menu. The brackets will hide the text between them.

  4. Choose to show the link to this item On the Course Menu only.

  5. Click Add

Repeat 1-5 to add more spacers


Step 2: Insert spacers between links on the course menu

  1. Click on Control Panel.
  2. Click on Course Settings.
  3. Click on Edit Course Menu.
  4. Insert blank spacers at the appropriate locations.
    1. Select one of the boxes with no text next to it found at the bottom of the list
    2. Select a number using the pull down menu next to Move link up by and click Go.

    (Repeat steps 1 & 2 if necessary to move the same or another item)

This action will take into effect immediately. When moving the spacers, you should see your course menu being modified. There is no need to save or update this action.
