Manage Designers

Overview

When courses are created, a Primary Designer is permanently designated. Cohort courses are created with departmental Primary Designer accounts. These accounts are managed by the department chair or manager and allow them to add, remove and change other designers/instructors. Traditional day courses are created under the primary instructor. They use their individual account to manage additional designer as well as student access to the course.

Adding a Designer

1. Login to the WebCT departmental (cohort) or your personal (traditional course) account.
2. Click on the link for the desired course.
3. Select Manage Course from the Designer links section.
4. Select Share Designer Access.
5. Under Options, type the individual’s WebCT / network ID in the box next to Add.
6. Click the Add button.
7. If the WebCT ID is valid, they will be added to the course as a designer and appear under the Designers with Shared Access section.
8. If they WebCT ID is not valid or already has access there will be an error generated: "Error: WebCT ID _______ cannot be granted shared designer access. Either the WebCT ID does not exist in the database, or the WebCT ID already has shared access to the course."
9. If the WebCT ID does not have access to the course or the name that appears is not the intended one, please contact WebCT Support to request the correct ID.
10. Please see the Deleting a Designer section for instructions on removing an incorrect designer.
