Toolin’ Around: Cisco WebEx Teams for Student Group Work

Hi everyone!

We hope all of you had a safe and healthy Thanksgiving holiday. We are so thankful to have these opportunities to work and learn alongside the best faculty, staff, and students this college could ask for. Thank you for tuning in to our content, we are happy to be here for you.

Lindy Hues, a CTLE Faculty Fellow and instructor in the Advertising and Graphic Design program was gracious enough to give us some wisdom on how she uses WebEx Teams to set up Student Group work, for this edition of “Toolin’ Around”!

Toolin’ Around Tip: WebEx Teams may be used as a great way to always be in touch, but it can also be used as a platform for students to work in groups. Here is a quick tutorial on how to set it up.

Benefits?
WebEx Teams is a remote synchronous tool that Central Piedmont has come to rely on in a big way. WebEx Teams helps us based on our departments, committees, user groups, and can also be used to help engage your students and courses. Once setup, you can have WebEx Teams function as a synchronous environment for your students to work collaboratively. Students can use this environment to initiate student led meetings (which you can drop in on if you wish) with video, screen sharing, and whiteboards. Students are also able to organize their own groups with persistent chat and file sharing. Please check out the tutorial to get started.

Toolin’ Around: WebEx Search

Welcome to another CTLE “Toolin’ Around”!

What are these posts?

They are brief, easy-to-implement tips involving the tools we use everyday with students to make our teaching lives, well, easier (and possibly even more effective).

Toolin’ Around Tip: Help your students get the most out of WebEx class meeting recordings with the “search” function.

Benefits? The streamed recording contains a transcript and search field. Should students miss a session or want to watch again, they can enter a term of interest. For example, if they want to find out if you gave instruction on a certain assignment, they could enter key words related to it. The streamed session also contains a chat synopsis and participant list on the left side of the viewing screen.

Toolin’ Around: WebEx Auto-Record

Welcome to the CTLE’s 1st “Toolin’ Around”!

What are these posts, you ask?

They are brief, easy-to-implement tips involving the tools we use everyday with students to make our teaching lives, well, easier (and possibly even more effective).

Toolin’ Around Tip: Utilize the auto-record setting for WebEx meetings.

Benefits? Instructors can reduce the anxiety of forgetting to click “record” once they start a WebEx class meeting by using the auto-record checkbox option. This allows them to ensure the class meeting is captured for students’ future viewing in the event they were not able to opt in or if they want to re-watch it later.
