WebEx Training Center is a web conferencing program which lets people interact with one another "live" in a virtual online meeting environment.
You can meet, learn and collaborate from anywhere you have access to a mobile device, tablet, or computer and an Internet connection using multi-way audio and video, application sharing and content display. All WebEx Training Center sessions are recordable, so instructors can record sessions and those unable to attend the live meeting can playback the session at a later time.
Instructors and students can open live sessions directly from their Canvas courses for classes, virtual office hours, problem-solving sessions and more. Students can view and download recordings from Canvas courses as well.
