Adding a Solution Page

In some classes it is good to give out solutions to problems the students have been working on. The challenge is when to give them out and in what form. If you wait until everyone had turned in their work and you have graded them, it is too late. They have gone on to other areas and will not care to look at it. Give it out too early and they copy the solution instead of figuring it out for themselves.

In WebCT we can arrange for a selection to only be available after an event has occurred. The event in this case is the grading of an assignment. The selection is an icon to open the solution file for the assignment.
