Setting up
Office Hours with Webex in Brightspace
The Webex
integration in Brightspace offers a great office hours feature. In order to use
the office hours feature of Webex in Brightspace, you will first need to add
the integration to your course and select the office hours feature when you set
it up. You can follow the instructors here to do that if you haven't
already.
If you already have the Webex tool set up and want to use office
hours, read on!
1. Go to your
Brightspace course and open the Webex integration by clicking "Webex"
within your Content area.
2. At the top
of the Webex tool, select "Office Hours." This will take you to the
page where you can select the available time slots and various options for your
office hours.
3. From the
dropdown menu under "Availability," Select how long you would like
each meeting slot to be. You can choose 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 45, minutes, or
60 minutes.
4. Next,
choose how much of a buffer you would like in between each meeting by selecting
the dropdown menu under "Block Off Extra Time." You can choose from
15 minutes, 30 minutes, and 45 minutes, or you can choose to have no buffer in
between meetings.
5. Choose
your availability by selecting the time slots by day (e.g. Mondays and
Wednesdays from 10-12 am).
6. Click
"Save" at the bottom of the page.
Note: When a
student schedules a meeting, both you and the student will receive an email
with a Webex link for the meeting, which also serves as your notification that
a student has booked a meeting with you. The email will also provide a way for
you to add the meeting to your personal calendar with a .ics file.
