Webex from Canvas App on an iPad
If you are teaching from an iPad (many professors do for the whiteboard to write equations or other apps suiting their purpose) you can do so via the following:
1) Make sure you have enabled WebEx in your Canvas Course, linked, etc. this works best from your PC or Mac. Video: https://app.vidgrid.com/view/MdJcwED92O1m/?sr=ggP13A
2) Assuming you have successfully performed the steps in #1:
- From your Canvas course, go to the "Virtual Meetings" tab (Canvas usually lands on "Classroom Collaboration"
- Create a Virtual Meeting (or series of Virtual Meetings) use "Meeting" under "Choose Host Center"
- After you have created a meeting, you can join it as the Host from the Virtual Meetings Tab by clicking on the "Host" button
- The iPad will start opening WebEx (or give you option to download if you have not already)
- If you are the first person, Waiting for others to join will show up. On the bottom (L to R) are the Microphone, Camera, and Share (up arrow) options
- The Share Content option gives you the option of sharing a Whiteboard or apps (Middle) as well as any app via Share Screen (top)
- Pick the app, Whiteboard or Share Screen to use (draw with, etc.) and share with your students. Note: Some instructors have reported Microsoft OneNote works particularly well for equations.
