WebCT can be accessed from anywhere with an Internet connection by going to http://www.dudleylearning.ac.uk

How to access WebCT:

1. Go to http://www.dudleylearning.ac.uk
2. Enter your login details. Your username and password are the same as those you use to log into the college computers. These will have been printed on your enrolment paperwork, but follow this pattern:
   
   Username. This will be an 8 digit number that corresponds to your person code (as shown on your ID badge). If your person code is not 8 digits then you should add zeros to the start to make 8 digits. (e.g. if your person code is 345678, your username is 00345678).
   
   Password. This is your date of birth which must again be written as an 8 digit number (e.g. if you were born on the 4th Feb 1980, your password is 04021980). NOTE: If you have changed your network password since then this new password must also be used in WebCT.



3. Click on 'OK' and you will be taken to 'My WebCT' which will list all the areas you have been given access to. Just click on an area to access the resources within it.

We highly recommend that if you have not already changed your network password from your date of birth that you do so straight away. Failure to do so may mean that somebody else could access your account without your consent. Click here to see details of how to change your network password and where to get help if you forget your login details.

WebCT offers a whole range of on-line learning tools for staff and students which can be accessed from anywhere with an internet connection. If you are a student, your course tutor will advise you if there is an area on WebCT specific to your course. If there is then this area may allow you access to course materials, e-mail, discussion boards, on-line tests and much more. Speak to your course tutor to find out more.

As well as individual course areas, everyone has access to ‘The Virtual College’ area which contains resources that may be useful during your time at Dudley College. This includes an interactive guide on how to use WebCT, on-line careers advisor, training materials on how to use a PC, multimedia materials for literacy and numeracy, induction materials and much more. Just log on to WebCT and click on ‘The Virtual College’ to find out what is available. More materials will appear in this area throughout the academic year.

A student guide for WebCT Version 8 can be found here (, 4.66MB)
