is not worth marks but will be recorded as "Complete" in the Grade Book after it is submitted. You can use
surveys to allow students to give feedback or opinions.

their understanding of course material. The marks are not recorded in the WebCT Grade Book.

l
HTML without any fonts - Maintains all formatting except font and size settings. The font used to
display each question will depend on the settings specified by WebCT and/or your browser.

Setting Up and Managing WebCT Server Profiles
ExamView makes it easy to manage multiple WebCT servers or accounts through the use of server profiles. In addition to the
server URL, server profiles can store login information by checking the Save username and password check box after a profile
is created.
The first server profile will automatically be the default and the profile name will be appended with "(Default)" in the list. As
additional profiles are added, a different default can be specified by highlighting the name and clicking the Set Default button.
The default profile is automatically highlighted whenever the dialog opens.
