The link below automatically logs you into the test classroom. For an actual course, you login through MyCTY using your CTY Student ID number as your Login ID and a password that is mailed to you. This test classroom shows all features used in our web-based Writing classrooms. The Communications board is read-only -- you cannot add new messages or attachments. WebCT is the name of a leading course management system. Most CTY Distance Writing web-based classrooms use WebCT.
If you have a firewall (all cable modem, dsl users do), you need to put WebCT and the CTY website in your firewall's Trusted Zone. Never disable your firewall. If you are using Internet Explorer (IE) 6.x, put the jhu.edu domain in IE's trusted zone. Click Tools, Internet Options, Security, Trusted Sites, Sites. In the Add box, type jhu.edu Enter exactly as below. 
Click Add, then OK. Now, click Privacy, Sites, and in the Address of Web Site box, type jhu.edu and click Allow. Click OK twice. Many course management systems use popup windows. - put jhu.edu in the popup blocker's list of trusted or allowed sites
- only disable your popup blocker as a last resort (and notify adults that you do so)
- always re-enable popup blockers when your WebCT session is done
