Overview

Integrate your Palm™ Datebook with the WebCT LinkWebCT utility. LinkWebCT allows you to download Calendar entries from your WebCT courses and store them in your Palm™ Datebook.

Once you have downloaded and set up LinkWebCT, each time you run the Palm HotSync operation, LinkWebCT will check to see if you are connected to the Internet. If you are, LinkWebCT will retrieve any new Calendar entries from your WebCT account and download them to your Datebook.

Notes:

  • LinkWebCT is available for Windows users only.
  • LinkWebCT will not connect to servers that use the SSL (HTTPS) protocol.
  • You must install the Palm Desktop software before installing LinkWebCT.
