Did you know that all ACC faculty and staff have access to Cisco WebEx and WebEx Connect conferencing tools for online sessions with colleagues or students?

With WebEx, instructors or staff can use any device — PC, Mac, tablet, or smartphone – to set up audio or videoconferences in real time with anyone within ACC or around the world.

Instructors can conduct online review sessions and invite students to collaborate on question and answer segments. Files, applications, and even the computer mouse on the presenter’s computer can be shared with others, or a whiteboard can be created for note-taking. Sessions can be recorded for replay.

WebEx Connect combines WebEx functions with chat, instant messaging, and other tools for collaboration. For example, an instructor can chat with a colleague (via text, audio, or video) to prepare lesson plans and share documents, then with one click, launch a WebEx meeting to bring in other department members for further collaboration.

Free WebEx and WebEx Connect video tutorials and webinars are available online. Cisco tech support also is available 24/7 for those needing help creating or managing a WebEx session.
