WebJunction Courses – Advice and Tips

By Janet McKenney | September 11th, 2008 | 1 Comment

I am getting great feedback on WebJunction Courses but we have also run into a few glitches here and there. So I have put together some updated advice and tips that make help you enroll and take a course.

1. Make sure you sign in and click the “Remember Me” checkbox. This assures that the courses show up at no cost and also allows you to move back and forth through the various areas of WebJunction without losing your “Maine Affiliation” or timing out.

2. Turn off Pop-up blockers. You should be prompted to disable pop-up blocking. Make sure you choose “always for this site”…it will make it easier in the long run. The sites to “always allow” will be:

  • webjunction.skillport.com
  • library.skillport.com
  • Graphic of pop-ups

    3. skillsoft-sm
    Skillsoft courses work in the browsers listed below (the latest version of Firefox is not yet supported) I recommend you run the browser test that SkillSoft provides: http://browser.skillport.com/bh/default.asp

  • Microsoft Internet Explorer version 5.5 and higher.
  • Netscape version 7.0, 7.1, 7.2, 8.0 – 8.0.3.3, and 8.1.
  • Mozilla 1.6 – 1.7.13 on Windows 2000 or Windows XP SP2. 1.6 and 1.7.12 on SuSE Linux 9.0 or 9.1. 1.6 and 1.7.13 on SuSE
  • Linux 10.0.
  • Firefox 1.0.0 -1.0.7 and 1.5 – 1.5.06.
  • Safari 2.0, 2.0.4.
  • For a complete listing: http://support.skillsoft.com/customer/sp_client_techspec_combined.pdf

    4.  For UNT LE@D Courses please remember that you will get an email from WebJunction with a usernLe@d-smame and password. The courses are taken using the University of North Texas WebCT online course environment and typically take 1-2 hours to complete.
    Please perform the Browser Check, turn off your pop-up blocker, and say yes when prompted to accept a Java Security Certificate.
