Online File Cabinet

A place to store files on a web server that is usually accessible anytime anywhere.

Online Tools

Refers to any application used to communicate or convey information online.

Option Button

Also referred to as a radio button. The option button is usually round in shape and indicates that only one option may be selected.

Organizer Page

In WebCT, this refers to a type of page that allows the instructor/designer to add WebCT tools as subdirectories of the Homepage. This helps to keep the number of icons to a minimum on the Homepage. For example in the WebCT default course template, the Communication Centre is an Organizer Page that holds the Communication Tools. Many instructor/designers use an Organizer Page for each section of a multi-section course.
