Handwritten (chalkless) lectures and tutorial sessions
- online presentations (audio+video) with screen share using a tablet writing on Ppt
- questions and answer (audio and video contact)
- comments (chat)
- split in small discussion groupsIn Webex Meeting or Webex Teams, online lectures are possible from a tablet or iPad with a pencil.
In Webex and Webex Teams is possible to work on your iPad with a pencil in your favorite app and from your computer at the same time in eg. Ppt and to switch between the two. In this setting it is good to use the microphone in Webex on iPad and your microphone and the speakers on the computer kept muted. The advantage of the combination of the iPad and the computer is also that you are more naturally visible for students on your webcam (when you want to share the video).
The difference between Webex Meetings and Webex Teams is that students in Webex Meetings can connect via a link and without installations and without any account. For Webex Teams students need to install a free app and create/use a free account, but with Teams students can also learn much more interactively.
