overview Overview of steps
General Rules of Thumb:
 • No illegal characters in file names (e.g., punctuation).
 • Keep file names simple. It is best to keep file names short with no spaces.
 • Use titles in your PowerPoint slides since they will be used as the titles for the Web-friendly version.


III. Uploading a Zip file into WebCT        Show me how

In Step II we covered how to create a single Zip file from a collection of web pages and images that were created when one exports a PowerPoint presentation as a web-friendly collection of files and images. This step will cover the process of uploading a Zip archive into WebCT, and the next step will cover the process of unzipping that archive using WebCT's built-in unzip tool.

Follow these steps to upload a Zip archive into WebCT...
