Campus Edition (CE) 6.x doesn't include semesters (or terms) like CE 4.1 did. We've requested this new feature enhancement from WebCT months ago but there's been no projected implementation date set. The dilemma is all courses for multiple semesters (terms) are grouped together alphabetically and the default course name on the My WebCT screen doesn't include the CRN (course number) nor any notation indicating the semester (term) for the course.

At JCCC, we run a script nightly to change the course name to include the CRN and semester offered (that information is sent over from Banner when a new course is added--we're integrated with Banner and Luminus). Even with the course renaming process, the list of courses on each instructor's My WebCT page can be very long (e.g. it currently can include up to three semesters of credit courses, two years of staff development offerings and up to three semesters of non-credit offerings--depending on the courses the individual is teaching or taking). To help solve the problem (partially) we've administratively enabled the capability for faculty to hide courses (e.g. those taught in past semesters).

Once enabled , faculty can hide courses (and shorten the My WebCT course list) so selected courses will not show. To do so we tell the instructor to:

1. Go to your My WebCT page,
2. Select the Edit Course List icon (square button with a pencil icon) that appears on the right end of the Course List banner,
3. On the screen that appears, select the check box in front of each course you want to hide.
4. When done, click the Hide button that appears at the top and bottom of the page.
5. To return to your My WebCT page, select the My WebCT tab at the top of the page.

The only indication that courses are hidden is a note under the Course List banner. It'll indicate the "Number of Hidden Course Links:" followed by a number.
You can always unhide (show) hidden courses using the same process...just select the Show button.
