Scheduling, Deleting, Revising a WebEx Web Conference in a Canvas course

To schedule and manage WebEx web conferences, instructors must start in the WebEx section of their Canvas course.

Instructors will always begin to work with WebEx in a Canvas course by clicking the WebEx button in the course’s navigation menu at left.

Then you will see tabs (Upcoming Events, Event Recordings, Event Attendance) and the "Schedule more events" button at right as this illustration shows:

To schedule web conferences, click the "Schedule more events" button. Then input a title for your web conference; select the time, date, and duration of your session, select "Meeting Center," "Training Center", or "Event Center"; then finally click “Schedule” and your list of upcoming web conferences will be updated.

Any scheduled upcoming or live web conference is visible to students who navigate to the course's WebEx section.

To delete a session that you have previously scheduled in the Canvas course is simple: return to the Canvas course’s WebEx area, and click on the gearwheel icon to the left of the session name. A delete option will pop up. Click on it. Confirm that you wish to delete the session and it will be deleted.

No revisions are possible- you must delete and rebuild! Please note, instructors cannot modify the details of a previously scheduled web conference. Instead, you must delete and build a new web conference with the correct, most up-to-date time and date instead. So if you would like to modify a web conference that was originally scheduled for 10:00am to 11:00am, or alter it from Tuesday to Wednesday, that is not possible- you must entirely delete it, and create a new session instead.
