Lessons

CISCO Webex is the web conference platform for educational activities.

The virtual classrooms are not activated for the single course; each teacher and collaborator has their own Webex Personal Room.

There are also Teams classrooms intended for receiving students, oral exams, any group activities and to be used as an alternative platform in case of interruption of the CISCO Webex Meetings service.

Activation

Webex Personal Rooms are activated:

  • to teachers automatically, concurrently with career activation
  • to collaborators, after the teachers have entered them as collaborators within their course through the service Teaching assignments and activities NEW. The virtual classrooms will be accessible to collaborators the day after their insertion.

Access

You can access the Personal Room:

  • through the direct link present in their assignment form (teachers only);
  • through the “Teaching assignments and activities NEW” service available in the Online Services;
  • via browser http://politecnicomilano.webex.com: press Sing in and enter your Polimi email address. If you are asked for the domain url, indicate http://politecnicomilano.webex.com

The Teams emergency classrooms can be reached from the “Teaching assignments and activities NEW” application; always from “Teaching assignments and activities NEW” it is possible to send an email to all students enrolled in the course to notify them.

Webinar and tutorial: are available in WeBeep in the course “Spazio Innovazione Didattica”

Recordings

In order to make lessons recorded in Webex available to students, they must be published through the “Manage Lesson Recordings” service available in the Online Services.

Teachers and collaborators have the possibility to publish only the lessons they have personally taught, which will then flow into a single archive of the lessons of the course.

It is possible to publish the recordings of the lessons taken (or of videos uploaded manually) in Webex through the “Teaching Recordings Management” service available in the Online Services.

In order for a recorded lesson to be published, the check mark on “Prevent downloading” must be removed in Webex.

A user guide is available within the service.

All the published recordings and video contents of a course converge in a single course archive.

There are two access options:

  • through the “Recordings Archive” service available in the Online Services
  • from WeBeep, using the Recordings archive link available in the course details

Support:use the “Request assistance” link available in the “Teaching recordings management” service

Guide to publication: the user manual is available in the “Teaching recordings management” application
