You can easily create a new lecture, start a meeting, or a training session using the One-Click Productivity Tool. After you have an active WebEx account (click here to request one), login onto the Casper College WebEx site. One-Click allows you to quickly set up and/or start a session. You can change the default topic name later, if you like.
When the Productivity Tools option, "Would you like to set up WebEx Productivity Tools for your desktop?", shows up on your screen, click on the Yes button, then Save the file on your computer desktop.
If you do not see the message, you can also click on the Productivity Tools option on the left side of the MyWebEx page and then the Install Productivity Tools button.
Double-click on the downloaded tool (ptools.msi) and follow the installation prompts.

New SmarThinking Single Sign-on Access
New for Fall semester and onwards is single sign-on for SmarThinking online tutoring services. Students will log into Moodle4Me using their WebAdvisor username/pin. After successful login, students will click on the "Connect to SmarThinking" link located on the right side of the MyMoodle page.
