Adding Images to Calendar Entries
 

Adding Images to Calendar Entries
The following directions describe how to add an image such as a jpeg or gif to a calendar entry:

  1. Click the Designer Options tab if it is not already selected.
  2. From the Course Menu, click Calendar. The Calendar screen appears.
  3. Select the month wish to add an entry to
  4. Click on the date you wish the image to
  5. Click Add entry
  6. In the box titled Summary, enter the following HTML tags and the URL path:
    <center><img width=64 height=64 src="http://courses6.webct.com/PHED_106KE/images/syllabus.jpg">

Explanation:
Center = centering the image in the calendar block

Width and height are about standard sizes for WebCT icons

Src= source of the image (this is one from my course) You can substitute an image from your course. The URL would be http://courses 6.webct.com/COURSE_ID/File Path . . .

In the case of my course it was http://courses6.webct.com/PHED_106KE/images/syllabus.jpg. For this example, note how the URL and path was constructed:

  • First, enter http://courses6.webct.com/
  • Next, enter your Course ID/, in this case it was PHED_106KE/
  • Then, include the name of the folder that you stored the image in. In this case it was images/. Note: If you didn't put it in a separate folder and just left it in the default My-Files folder, you can skip this step.
  • Lastly, finish with the name of your image filename, in this case it was syllabus.jpg
  1. Next to Detail, add any text you wish to enter.
  2. Click Update
  3. The image you have added should now appear in the calendar
