Using Webex for Collaboration

What is Webex Meetings?

Webex Meetings is a web conferencing service that connects you with anyone, anywhere, in real time. You can create meetings that combine desktop sharing through a web browser with audio conferencing and video, so everyone sees and hears the same thing at the same time. The service also includes an annotation tool and a whiteboard, and meetings can be recorded for later playback. It even works on a mobile device like an iPad. You can add these meetings to your D2L course to host a lecture to your entire course or a meeting between just a few people.
