Eric Hawthorne will be offering WebEx training on May 11th from 9:00-9:55 in room 105K (NOTE THIS IS A ROOM CHANGE).

We have moved to room 105K to open some additional seats for this training.

XPTE 102-02 (CRN:  90043):  WebEx is a premier web conferencing software that allows you to connect to your students via the web. The integration between WebEx and D2L allows you to schedule, launch, and conduct class meetings from the learning environment. This session will outline how you can use WebEx to engage students virtually as well as explore the software’s office hours functionality.

Social distancing and masks are required throughout the training. If you would like to attend, please register via Pathway. Professional Development Registration Instructions are available in the Faculty Toolbox in Pathway (in the information section) if you need them.
