| Placing the VAIL Tutor
inside your WebTycho Classroom
The opening screen for the tutorial is a web page. Because
of this you can simply create a link to the VAIL Tutor in
the same manner you would create a link to any other Course
Content with a URL. Here are two options available to you:
Option #1
- Select> [Faculty Center] from the main menu items
- Select> [Manage] from the Course Content commands
- Select> [Create Link] from the blue bar menu at the
bottom of the page
- Type in the [Linked Text] box- The VAILTutor
- Type in the [URL] box- http://www-apps.umuc.edu/vailtutor/index.html
- Set [Open in New Window] option to [Yes]- This is actually
up to you. Our test has shown the tutor to function and
display correctly if either option is selected. You should
be aware that selecting [No] will limit the font size of
the text; it will be small. By selecting [Yes] you allow
the user’s monitor to determine the maximum viewing
size for the tutor. This is recommended.
- Set [Make Link Visible to Students] option to your preference
- Click> [Submit] on the blue bar menu at the bottom
of the page
Option #2
With your permission, the Center can go into your classroom
and load the VAIL Tutor as “Course Content” for
you. If you would like to utilize this option, please send
an e-mail message stating that you give this permission for
access to your course section(s).
- Please indicate when you would like this content to be
“live”
- Please indicate the course number (COMM401), section (0110),
and semester (0309)
