What is Webex Meeting?
Webex helps to create real time communication and collaboration opportunities for class activities. It allows the instructor to present course materials, answer questions and initiate group discussion in real time. It can help to record a session which can be viewed later by your students. Some of the ways instructors may use a webinar session include:
- Tour of online course – Instructor can share their browser to give a tour of their course to students.
- Present lecture – Instructor can explain lecture notes and course material in real time and answer student’s question.
- Guest lecture session – Guest speakers can join in from a distance to present a topic of the week.
- Student presentation – Students can be promoted to the presenter role to present their project work.
