Setup Checklist for the Hybrid Classroom

This checklist contains the steps that need to be taken to setup CS/ISAT 150 as a hybrid classroom using an "external" laptop and camer/microphone.

This process only works with the laptop connected to the "front" projector (i.e., the projector that is facing the narrow wall) because it is the only one with a wired, external connection.

1. Connect the "external" hardware.
1.1. Connect the camera and microphone to the laptop (if necessary).
1.2. Connect the laptop to the Internet.
1.3. Connect the laptop to the projector (using either an HDMI or VGA cable).
1.4. Start the projector.


2. Go to the JMU WebEx portal.
2.1. Start a WWW browser.
2.2. Go to jmu.webex.com.

2.4. Enter your "Username" and "Password" and click on Log In.


3. Host a meeting.
3.1. Click on Meeting Center and expand "Host a Meeting" if necessary.
3.2. Click on Meet Now. If the Meeting Center Application is installed it will start running. If not, you will be asked to install it. Since you don't have the privileges to do so, click on the X and then click on "Run a temporary application".


4. Make an audio connection.
4.1. Click on ... under "Connect to Audio" and click on "Test Computer Audio".

6.2. Select either "Share My Screen" (which will share every window) or a particular application (which will share only the windows associated with that application).


7. Record the session.
7.1. Click on Record.
7.2. Confirm that the "Recording" message/icon has appeared.
