Now is the time in which online education is more relevant than ever. NetAcad members from BiASC are entitled to use a full Webex admin account (up to a maximum number that we are able to provide). Equally, all other educational institutions can use a free full access account until the end of the current academic year.

Advise for Newcomers and Deep Dive Webinar
This page gives basic information for newcomers along with a video reference to a deep dive explanation of the major components of the Webex ecosystem.
NetAcad instructors who have been using Webex for distance learning are attracted to this very useful collection of open standard communication and cloud collaboration tools. Webex Teams & Meetings offers all the possibilities that you get from other well known cloud applications. Only in Webex all the tools are integrated.
Participants can join a meeting with a desktop or laptop computer, a tablet or even a smartphone.
Open Standards and Integration
Webex is a combination of functionalities that you find in apps like WhatsApp, Messenger, Skype, Zoom, Dropbox, Adobe Connect ... Moreover, Webex is offering a very intuitive screen sharing, annotation, chat and polling tool. The elegant whiteboard application allows instructors to explain design concepts with the use of visual representations. Meetings can be recorded and all the necessary files can be up- and downloaded. Webex facilitates integration with calendar applications Microsoft Exchange, Office 365, Google Gmail.
Start simple, step by step
For group meetings and online classes we advise you to use the Webex Meetings tool with your students. This is the most simple for all participants. For small group or individual coaching we advise Webex Teams, in which students can also collaborate without a teacher.
