Linking to CE8 from Sungard

If you prefer to have your course open in Sungard when the students click on your course name in MyCourses, and then provide a link to WebCT from there, post a News article that appears on the homepage of your Sungard site, as follows:



  1. Click "News" in the Sungard tool list on the left.

  2. Click the "Post an Article" link.

  3. Complete the News article dialog box, as follows:

    • Choose "Active" in the Status dropdown menu.

    • Name your article in the Title/Subject line, such as "Access This Course in WebCT."

    • Choose "Article Uses HTML" in the News Article dropdown menu.

    • In the Message box, copy/paste the following HTML code from <a...to...<a>

      <a href="http://myblackhawk.bhc.edu/cp/ip/login?sys=webct&url=target_sourcedid.id%3A%2F%2F[CRN].[YEAR][TERM]">Please click here to open WebCT.</a>

    • Replace the bracketed information with your course info, as follows:

      • Replace [CRN] with your course's Course Reference Number, omitting the brackets.

      • Replace the [YEAR] with the year the course appears in, omitting the brackets.

      • There needs to be a period . between the YEAR and the TERM (example 84301.200908)

      • Replace [TERM] with 01 for spring, 08 for fall, 05 for June Start, 06 for July Start, omitting the brackets.
