The Course Support Toolbox is a resource portal for faculty and staff at the UW School of Social Work using Catalyst Tools for their course website, online discussion boards, quizzes, and other online tools. If you have an idea or question that you'd like to see added to this resource, please contact us.
Images can help engage your students and give a visual representation to ideas or concepts in your course. The following presentation provides a visual demonstration of how to add an image or photo to your CommonView course website.

Via UW Learning & Scholarly Technologies, a new question type has been added to Catalyst’s online survey and quiz tool, WebQ.
WebQ, the Catalyst Web Tool developed for survey, quiz, and research use has a new multiple-choice question type: True/False. When you select this question type, WebQ generates a true/false answer pair. If you want, you can change the responses to a different type (for example: yes/no or male/female).
Instructions for adding a True/False question can be found in the Add multiple choice question page in the WebQ Help Center.
Via the UW Registrar’s Office, this 4-minute video tutorial takes you through the steps of creating a new gradebook, entering grades, and reviewing and submitting grades using Catalyst Tools’ GradeBook.
