Instructor
From inside OAKS you, the instructor, can schedule a synchronous meeting with an individual student or multiple students in your course.
Just click on Virtual Classroom for your course navigation. Next, choose the length of the meeting, whether or not the meeting will be recorded and if external participants are allowed to join the meeting. If the meeting will be recorded, an additional option will activate that will use the link for the meeting as a link to the recording of the meeting after it has concluded.
