Manage Students allows you to create and maintain student information. Information is collected in a table called the Student table. The table is organized into rows and columns. There is a row for each student in your course and a column for each different piece of information that you record for the student. By default, there are columns for Last Name, First Name, and User ID. If you want to add more information, you must first create a column for it. For example, you can create a column to store the results of a test or assignment. Some columns are generated automatically by another WebCT tool, such as Quizzes/Surveys.

You can also release information such as quiz results and assignment grades to students. They can view this information from the My Grades tool.

5. In the Label text box, enter the column name.
6. From the Type drop-down list, select the column type and click Add. The Columns screen appears with the column added.

Column types | Top

Different columns store different types of information. For example, quiz grades are stored in a quiz column, names are stored in an alphanumeric column, and a final grade can be stored in a calculated column. You can select the column type when you first create a column, or you can convert an existing column to a different type. A column type symbol for each existing column is displayed on the Column screen in the Type row. Column type symbols are defined in the Legend of Column Types below the table.

The following column types are available:

• alphanumeric
• numeric
• letter grade
• selection box
• calculated
• text
• midterm and final grades

Note: You cannot create a Quiz column. This column type is generated automatically when a Quiz is created.

Alphanumeric columns | Top

You can add information consisting of letters and/or numbers (e.g., name, User ID, student number, phone number) to the Student table. You do this by creating an alphanumeric column, and then entering the information into the column. Note: Information must not exceed one line. To add information that occupies several lines and contains hard returns, see Text Columns.
