WebEx is an online conferencing tool that enables faculty and staff to meet with students or colleagues from anywhere Internet access is available. It allows users to collaborate with others online, attend or host meetings, and share data, presentations, online demonstrations, etc. Faculty can use WebEx to bring guest speakers into their classrooms, hold virtual office hours, provide one-on-one or group tutorials, participate in committee work and much more. WebEx lectures or meetings can easily be recorded, and the video files can then be uploaded into Blackboard courses. 

In July, 2020, WebEx Training Center was added to all CCSU WebEx accounts. WebEx Training Center gives the user many more features, including Breakout Rooms. Click here for further information on how to use WebEx Training Center.
