Student tracking updates hourly, so you will not see changes immediately.
Webcourses@UCF has a security feature that will automatically log out an account after 90 minutes of inactivity. However, the system does not recognize activity within a textbox, so if you are entering text in the HTML Creator for 90 minutes without clicking Save, you run the risk of your webcourse closing and your text being lost. This can be avoided by saving periodically, or creating text in an outside word processing program and then copying or uploading the desired text.
