Web Utilities

The following are Web utilities that may be useful or needed for WebCT courses at UAMS:

Download MicroSoft Internet Explorer (IE) or Internet Netscape - free

Note of caution, the two products above will 'fight' for control of your web access.  Decide which you want to be your default (usually the one you are most familiar with) and do not let the other make itself the default browser - you should be given a chance to make this choice.   In addition, if your ISP (Internet Service Provider) is AOL you will need to download either IE or NS above. AOL's Web browser does not work with the UAMS WebCT courses.

If you need to do Web searches, www.GOOGLE.com is recommended, among others.  GOOGLE  is a very fast, good search engine.

Adobe Acrobat Reader - free
