Classroom collaboration
Classroom collaboration overview
Using the Webex App for classroom collaboration makes it simple to send a message to a fellow student or the instructor, chat with a group of people, and share files that are being worked on collectively.
Within the Webex App, teams offer assistance in maintaining order by classifying a number of different locations under a single overarching topic. You have a group of people working on your course together, and some of those people may be split up into smaller groups.
When you first go to the Classroom Collaboration tab from the Webex Education Connector in your course, you will be prompted to sign in using the credentials you have set up for Webex.
You and your fellow students are able to initiate new places in which to have conversations about particular subjects, work together on a single project as a group, or send private messages to one another.
- Within the Webex Education Connector, navigate to the tab labelled “Classroom Collaboration.”
- Click the +Create New Space button once you’ve navigated to the Spaces tab.
- Please provide a name for your area.
- Fill up the space with the name of each individual who you want to include.
- Click Create.
Send a message
You have the option of either sending a message to an individual person or to a group space. Because each of your messages is saved, when you next message a person or the group, the conversation will pick up exactly where you left off when you sent the message.
