AOL Users:

There are some known issues for users accessing WebCT via AOL. The browser may cause your system to lock up and/or crash while working in WebCT.

It is recommended that AOL users:

• log into AOL as usual
• minimize the AOL window
• click into Internet Explorer or Netscape
• Log into WebCT

Note: There are some additional steps you need to take to keep your AOL session from shutting down due to lack of perveived activity. Basically, you'll need to "fool" AOL's idle timer; for example:

• Create a "private" chat room and leave the room open.
• From time to time, you'll need to respond to the message asking whether you want to stay online
• To do this you must make AOL the active window and check for this message
