Enable and access in Canvas / Webex

Problem

• How do I schedule a Webex session in Canvas?

Rationale

• Webex allows instructors and students to present information, share applications, and collaborate on projects; stage large-scale online events; and deliver highly interactive and effective online training
• Miami's site license for Webex allows faculty, students, and staff to host Webex meetings 

Resolution

Enable and access Webex in your Canvas course site

• Review the Miami Online guide for getting started with Webex in Canvas
• Webex is integrated with Canvas, so you will find a Cisco Webex link when you scroll to the bottom of your course's sidebar menu
• Review Cisco Webex Education Connector for Teachers for more detailed instructions
• If you receive an error message review the KB article, Webex / Error Record: Unauthorized to host a meeting in Canvas
