Faculty Publishing
Follow these steps to publish course materials on Web Central:
- Get a departmental computer account
Get a computer account, with the Unix Timesharing System (UTS) Service, for each person who will be publishing.
If you need assistance opening a departmental computer account, adding users to an existing TRAC group, or validating existing users for UTS, talk to your Technical Support Contact. Or visit the ITS Accounts page for further information.
- Log in to UTS at least once using Telnet
The "log in" link above starts a Telnet session to UTS.
All publishers must log in on UTS at least once to change their login
name. Names must be 8 or fewer characters. Change your login name
to your last name or a variation of it. For example, smith
is a good login name. The name you pick is important, because you
will sign all Web pages:
login-name@www.utexas.edu
- Request
a publishing directory (requires UT EID)
Faculty have a special area for publishing course materials. That
area is ~www/courses on UTS.
The link at left leads to a form to request a publishing directory
in ~www/courses. You should receive confirmation within a day. You
will own and manage your new directory.
- Read the publishing
guidelines
Please read all publishing guidelines. While these are guidelines
and not requirements, we recommend that you be familiar with them.
- Learn basic HTML
- Learn basic UNIX
You should know how to create, delete, and move files and directories.
If you use Fetch, you can perform many of these tasks with it.
- Learn to manage files
and directories
You will be publishing from Web Central, a UNIX machine. Learn the
tips and techniques for managing your files and directories.
- Put your files in your publishing directory
Put all the files that you want to publish in your new publishing
directory or in subdirectories that you create. If you create your
HTML files on a Mac or PC, use Fetch or WS_FTP to transfer them from
your microcomputer to your publishing directory. See instructions
for uploading.
You can submit course entries by going to the World Lecture Hall.
