Meetings/Classrooms

To create meetings on LEARN you MUST have the permissions to do so. To get these permissions, you must contact ist-ac@uwaterloo.ca. Once you have these permissions and the system requirements you can start creating meetings.

To create meetings:

1. Log onto LEARN, enter the course, go to Online Rooms, and go to the Rooms tab.

2. Select New Room.

3. Give it a name and optionally a description.

4. Set your meeting as Public, so that your students can view and access the meeting room. If it is set as Restricted, then you must add students individually to the meeting before they can view the meeting. It is recommended to set the visibility of all meetings to Public.

5. You must choose a start time and end date for your meeting room. After the end date, your room is inaccessible on Learn. However, your archives will always be available.

6. Set your meeting’s access to “anyone who has the URL for the meeting can enter the room”, then anyone in your course can access it. If it is set to “only accepted users can enter the room”, then anyone trying to enter the room must be previously accepted by the instructor. If it is set to “only attendees with a personal account can enter the room”, then students must have an Adobe Connect account. Anyone who has the URL is the recommended setting unless it is absolutely necessary for students to be excluded.

7. If “only accepted users can enter the room”, then the instructor must add each student individually as an attendee.

8. When you are done filling out the information, select Save.

To open a meeting room:

Make sure pop-ups are NOT blocked for learn.uwaterloo.ca; if pop-ups are blocked the meeting will not open.
