Using WebMeeting for Collaboration

Students have the ability to create their own Web Meetings as moderator by using the ePortfolio system. This provides you with the ability to work with a group of students on projects and utilize all the capabilites of eLive via distance.

For a course:

Sign into UAS Online and go to your course. Click on the Portfolio link in the blue navigation bar at the top of the screen as shown below.

If you haven't created your portfolio you will see the following screen. Click on the "Create new porfolio page" button.

The "Manage Page" settings are located in the upper right corner of your new portfolio as show below.

Click on "Manage Page" and making sure you are on the "Content" tab scroll down to WebMeeting and click. In the following window make sure you check the box "Display a web meeting on this page" and hit the "Save" button.

Go back to your portfolio page by following the links at the top of the page. You will now see the addition to your portfolio page for your Web Meetings. You will see the "Moderate Now" link while users will see the "Participate Now" link.

Tell students who will be joining your Web Meeting to go to your course and click on the "view" link under your name on the Class List. They can then click on the "Add to Bookmarks" so they will be able to access it the next time from the Start Page for UAS Online in the ePortfolio list.

NOTE: If you are having anyone from outside your class access your Web Meeting you will have to provide them with Review access by adding their name to the Reviews from your Manage Page/Security Settings tab. You will also have to send them the URL since they may not be able to access it from the class list. If you need help please contact the helpdesk@uas.alaska.edu.
