Features and announcements are listed in the order of monthly updates. Announcements Coming soon May 2024 Webex LTI coming soon Webex LTI is a new integration from Cisco that includes full support for Learning Tools Interoperability (LTI) 1.3, new features like additional schedule options and improved recordings sync, as well as a refreshed design. Automatic migration of Webex Education Connector to Webex LTI Legacy On Sunday, June 2, 2024 , every Webex Education Connector registration will be automatically migrated to a special version of Webex LTI, called Webex LTI Legacy. Webex LTI Legacy will inherit many of Webex LTI’s improvements, but will allow you to continue supporting LTI 1.1 environments without needing to take any action. Following the migration, as of Monday, June 3, 2024 , all of your courses, meetings, and settings from Webex Education Connector will be available to you and your users immediately in Webex LTI Legacy. While you don’t need to take any action as part of this migration, please be aware that in order to use certain features that require Webex user authorization, such as scheduling new meetings, your users will need to log in with Webex again inside of Webex LTI Legacy in your LMS. Please see Webex LTI, Webex LTI Legacy, and Webex Education Connector feature comparison for details on the feature similarities and differences between Webex LTI, Webex LTI Legacy, and Webex Education Connector. March 2024 New Webex integration with Learning Management Systems (LMSs) coming soon We’re excited to announce that a new integration between Webex and LTI-compliant Learning Management Systems is coming this calendar year. This integration will support LTI 1.3 and introduce new features as well as new UI. Webex Education Connector registrations temporarily provisioned through Cisco TAC In preparation for the release of our new LMS integration, we are no longer allowing end users to create new Webex Education Connector registrations as of March 27, 2024. If you are an existing Webex customer with a current Webex Education Connector registration and need help generating new installation credentials for your LMS, please open a support case with Cisco TAC for assistance. If you are a new Webex customer and have not yet set up Webex Education Connector, please contact your sales or customer success representative. Existing Webex Education Connector installations are not affected and will operate as normal. June 2024 June 2, 2024 Automatic migration from Webex Education Connector to Webex LTI Legacy On June 2, 2024, every Webex Education Connector registration will be automatically migrated to Webex LTI Legacy. Webex LTI Legacy will look different, but all the courses, meetings, and settings from Webex Education Connector will be available to you and your users immediately. While you don’t need to take any action as part of this migration, please be aware that to use certain features that require Webex user authorization, such as scheduling new meetings, you must sign in with Webex inside Webex LTI Legacy in your LMS. Like Webex Education Connector, Webex LTI Legacy is built using Learning Tools Interoperability (LTI) version 1.1. The conversion of Webex Education Connector registrations to Webex LTI Legacy is in preparation for Webex LTI, a new integration built on LTI version 1.3. Webex LTI will be available to you in the coming months. Please see Webex LTI, Webex LTI Legacy, and Webex Education Connector feature comparison for details on the feature similarities and differences between Webex LTI, Webex LTI Legacy, and Webex Education Connector. Please see Webex LTI for teachers to learn more about the features available in both Webex LTI Legacy and the upcoming new integration Webex LTI. Enhanced recording syncing We’ve refined and optimized the recording sync process to ensure that your recordings sync back to your LMS faster than ever. In addition to these improvements, we’re also adding a new feature for your convenience—a manual sync option. The manual sync gives you the flexibility to update your courses with the latest meeting recordings on command. Import recordings from Webex You can import Webex recordings that aren’t part of a specific class meeting into your LMS using the new other recordings feature. When imported, you’re able to publish these recordings in any class you teach to make them available for your students. The other recordings feature replaces the recording library feature that was available in Webex Education Connector. Two-way syncing between Webex and your LMS Webex LTI Legacy will sync changes that are made to your meetings and recordings in User Hub back to the LMS. Additional meeting scheduling options When scheduling a Webex meeting, you will have more scheduling options for the meeting: Join rules —Choose what happens for people who aren’t on the invite or who aren’t signed in: They can join the meeting. They wait in the lobby until they’re admitted. They can’t join the meeting. Auto lock —To lock your meeting after it starts, check this check box and choose how many minutes pass before the meeting locks. Entry and exit tone —Choose the sound that people hear when someone joins or leaves the meeting. Mute attendees —Select any of the following options: Allow attendees to unmute themselves in the meeting —If you choose to mute attendees when they join, select this option so they can unmute themselves. Don’t select this option if you want only the host or cohost to be able to unmute attendees. Always mute attendees when they join the meeting —Automatically mute attendees when they join the meeting. Allow attendees to raise their hands so that you can unmute them . Automatic recording —Automatically start recording when the meeting starts. New classroom collaboration experience The classroom collaboration experience inside the LMS is changing. Clicking the classroom collaboration tab will open your class’s team in the Webex App for web. Messaging content and space creation will no longer be available directly within the LMS integration itself. End of support announcement With the release of Webex LTI Legacy, we are announcing the end of support for the following features: Admin console —Site-wide administration, including the ability to enable or disable specific features, will be moving out of the LMS. The new admin console will be available in an upcoming release, and we will provide more details on this new experience in future updates. Analytics —Analytics will not be available within the Webex LTI Legacy integration. We recommend that customers use the robust Meeting and Messaging analytics in Control Hub instead. Grading —Meeting attendance will now only display the attendance information from User Hub, and instructors will no longer be able to manually mark attendance. With the removal of manual attendance marking in meetings, the grading feature is no longer supported. LMS calendar integration —Meetings scheduled with Webex LTI Legacy can only be started and joined from within the Webex LTI Legacy integration or from User Hub . ReminderBot —With the enhancements to Webex’s upcoming meeting notifications, the ReminderBot feature has been removed.
