Blackboard (HuskyCT) instructors can integrate Webex directly with their course page. Instructors may now create/begin Scheduled Meetings, list class Recordings, and facilitate Office Hours directly in their HuskyCT page.

Adding Webex to your Course

To add Webex to your Course, 

  1. Log into the HuskyCT website. 
  2. Navigate to your course.

  3. Click on the + symbol at the top of your course links to add a Tool Link.
    Please note that Webex can also be added as a content item. If you would like to add Webex as a content item instead of a Tool, continue down to the next section of this guide.

  4. Give the link an appropriate name. Webex is fine to use for a name.
    1. For Type, choose Webex.
  5. Check the box to make the link available to users.
  6. Click Submit.
  7. Click on the new link to open the Webex tool.

Alternative: Add Webex as a Content Item

 View Content

Overview

  • This option for adding Webex as a Content Item is functionally equivalent to adding Webex as a Tool link, but requires more mouse clicks during use. Adding the Webex tool as a Tool Link will place Webex in the left-hand menu, which will make it conspicuous and quicker to navigate to.
  • If you have Webex as both a Content Item and a Tool link, the two instances of the Webex tool will mirror each other; changes made in the Content Item will be reflected in the Tool Link, and vice versa.

To add Webex as a Content Item, 

  1. Click on Course Content in the left menu.
  2. Click on Tools to open the tools menu.
  3. Click on More Tools to find the Webex tool.
  4. Click on Webex to add the Webex tool.

First Time Setup

After clicking on the link to open the course tool, you will be directed to the first time setup.

To set up the Webex tool for the first time, 

  1. Choose your features: Be sure to check Virtual Meetings and Office Hours. 
    1. You may also check Classroom Collaboration, however it is not necessary and may add confusion. This feature adds an instant-messaging thread within the Webex tool by integrating Webex Teams. Within the Classroom Collaboration tab, you may have multiple messaging threads for different topics.
  2. Press Apply to see the new tabs appear at the top. You will see a tab for each feature that you have checked off. You may add or remove these tabs at any time by following this guide.

  3. Visit each tab and authorize Webex when prompted to do so.

Recorded classes (Meetings) that were scheduled using this Webex tool will appear in the Virtual Meetings tab in the Recordings sub tab.
