The Webex integration in Brightspace offers a great office hours feature. In order to use the office hours feature of Webex in Brightspace, you will first need to add the integration to your course and select the office hours feature when you set it up. You can follow the instructors here to do that if you haven't already. If you already have the Webex tool set up and want to use office hours, read on!
1. Go to your Brightspace course and open the Webex integration by clicking "Webex" within your Content area.
2. At the top of the Webex tool, select "Office Hours." This will take you to the page where you can select the available time slots and various options for your office hours.
3. From the dropdown menu under "Availability," Select how long you would like each meeting slot to be. You can choose 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 45, minutes, or 60 minutes.
4. Next, choose how much of a buffer you would like in between each meeting by selecting the dropdown menu under "Block Off Extra Time." You can choose from 15 minutes, 30 minutes, and 45 minutes, or you can choose to have no buffer in between meetings.
5. Choose your availability by selecting the time slots by day (e.g. Mondays and Wednesdays from 10-12 am).
6. Click "Save" at the bottom of the page.
Note: When a student schedules a meeting, both you and the student will receive an email with a Webex link for the meeting, which also serves as your notification that a student has booked a meeting with you. The email will also provide a way for you to add the meeting to your personal calendar with a .ics file.
