Virtual Classroom Updates
Webex Meeting templates permission check
Overview: An update to Webex media creation includes a re-ordering of field to enable selection of a ‘Webex Meeting template’ following the selection of the host. This update prevents errors of selecting a meeting template that the selected host is not allowed to use. A new error message alerts if the selected host does not have access to the selected meeting template.
Benefits and Use Cases: Ensures Webex virtual meetings are delivered using meeting templates the host is permitted to use to reduce potential errors.
Audience: Course administrators and Tutors (Hosts)
Setup & Access: Update will be applied automatically.
Considerations & Limitations: Webex integration requires the imc Webex connector licence and a Webex licence.
Testing: Create a new Webex media object. First select a ‘Webex Meeting template’ without selecting the host, then the selection window. This will show all templates associated with the account configured in the settings of the Webex external provider. Close the window without selecting a template. Next, select a ‘Webex meeting host’ and then check if only the Webex Meeting templates permitted for the selected host are loaded in the pop-up. Finally, if a Webex Meeting template is already selected, change the Host one with permission to the Webex Meeting template, and check that an error message is shown.
Risk rating: Low
Webex Meeting Direct Joining
Overview: When accessing a Webex session from with imc Learning Suite it will no longer be needed to re-enter username and password of the users Webex account. This has become possible as Webex developed a direct-join API that was not previously available. This sees the learner only needing to click the Webex meeting component in the Learning Suite course syllabus.
Benefits and Use Cases: Seamless access to the Webex meeting. The learners save time by directly joining without inputting additional information that also could contain type errors and the administrators can rely on correct results for the meeting reports and "passed" information since the e-mail tracking works only with correct e-mail addresses.
Audience: Learners
Setup & Access: Update will be applied automatically.
Considerations & Limitations: Webex integration requires the imc Connector licence and a Webex licence.
Testing: Requires an existing Webex licenced system and configuration. If available, simply setup a meeting, assign to a course, and access with a learner during meeting open times.
Risk rating: Low
