About Webex
Webex is a desktop conferencing system that allows for live, two-way interaction between participants. The service is compatible with: PC, Mac, iPad, iPhones, and Android, and Windows phones. Its applications are nearly endless: online office hours, emergency class meetings, project work, remotely bringing a guest speaker into your class, thesis defenses, etc.
How do I connect?
To have a Webex account auto-created, please go to njit.webex.com and click on “Sign In” at the upper right corner. Then use your UCID & Password for access. Once the personal room is created, you can create a session and forward the web link to the participants. This can be done by adding the link to Canvas. All a participant needs to do is to click on the link to enter the session (students do not need an account to participate).
What hardware is needed?
At a minimum, the host needs a headset/microphone and ideally should also have a webcam. If a participant doesn’t have any of these, they can still communicate via a text chat option. A wired internet connection always works better than WiFi.
Webex recordings
Webex recordings are automatically uploaded to the Kaltura media repository site (mediaspace.njit.edu) and will be available through the "My Media" in Canvas. If you are not familiar with Kaltura, please email instruction@njit.edu, and one of our Instructional Designers will assist you in getting started on that site.
