Instructors can use Webex to conduct their classes if they are unable to attend in person. This article provides an overview and recommendations for instructors and students using the Webex service. 

...

  • The use of a VPN is not necessary; Webex is hosted on the internet and therefore not constricted to any local network (i.e., UCONN-SECURE). Using a VPN may cause problems, as it introduces an increase in latency and adds another point of failure.

  • Do not connect to a remote computer in your office or use AnyWare; you will notbe able to share a webcam or microphone in either direction. Be sure to run Webex locally on your computer at home.
    If you need to access files from another computer, be sure to transfer them before you begin your class or use Office 365's online storage to access your files.

  • Decide whether you will be holding classes consistently at the same time or if your schedule is more fluid. If your class is going to be real-time, also known as "synchronous learning," it must occur at its usual time.

    • Classes will be held at the same time: Learn how to Schedule your classes.

    • The schedule will be more fluid: If you plan on having a more fluid schedule, you can share your Personal Room information. Your Personal Room is always available for you to open and connect with Participants. The link to your Personal Room is unchanging. Learn more at Sharing Webex Personal Room Information.

After your class concludes, you may view an attendance report by following this guide: View/Export Webex Attendance.

Note

There may be legitimate technical issues that prevent students from participating in a session. CETL recommends that you have an alternative way for student to be graded in case they could not attend.
