Interwise Web Conferencing

The Interwise Web Conferencing system allows instructors and students to participate in real-time, recorded, and "on-demand" events. Its features vastly supplement those available in the WebCT course management system, which all WebCampus courses utilize.

In a typical class that utilizes web conferencing, the instructor may conduct periodic sessions to deliver lectures, review homework, or answer questions. Since control of a web conference can be shared among participants, it is now possible for students to deliver presentations and answer questions from their classmates and instructors in real-time.

Each time a web conference is scheduled, students receive an email invitation with instructions for linking to the event. (This makes it critical for students to make sure that their email addresses on file are accurate. Students can verify that Stevens has the correct email address on file by logging into the Student Services section of the "Web for Students" application and reviewing their preferences.) Recordings available, anytime

Most web conferencing events are recorded so that students can play them back as many times as needed. Instructors may also create pre-recorded or "on-demand" events that cover a specific topic or assignment. Instructors may post links to these on-demand events in the WebCT system.

A Value-Added Service students can use the Interwise system to conduct web conferences with their classmates in preparation for projects. Students who wish to make use of this service should contact the WebCampus Office. (WebCampus Scheduling is handled on a first-come, first served basis.) This gives students the opportunity to practice their virtual teaming skills.

Rewards of Participation Instructors have cited cases where students, through their active participation in web conferences, were able to demonstrate a much better understanding of class concepts then they would have otherwise. Many students have also developed new skills for managing virtual projects and virtual teams – a skill that is becoming increasingly important for global and multinational companies.

Interwise events have been integrated into most WebCampus programs, though the number of web conferences conducted in each class varies. To find out the level of web conferencing activity that takes place in the classes you are interested in, consult the course syllabus files or contact the instructor who will conduct the course.
