Meetings: Add and Create a Meetings Session

Add and Create a Meetings Session

Before creating your first Meeting session, you must add the Meetings tool to your Sakai site.
We have provided step-by-step instructions for several types of Meetings sessions you may want to provide in your site.

Add the Meetings tool

1. Open a course site on Sakai. From the course menu, click Site Info.
2. Click the Manage Tools tab, and then scroll down and place a check next to Meetings.
3. Scroll to the bottom and click Continue, then click Finish. Meetings now appears on your course menu

Step-by-Step Instructions for Creating Different Types of Meetings

• Meeting for an instructor and students (See below: Create a Meeting for an instructor and students)
• Meeting for Guest, Instructor, and students (handout already created)
• Meeting for Two or More instructors and students (new handout)
• Private Meeting or One-on-one Meeting with a Student (PDF)
• Student Group Meetings (new handout from Create Meetings handout)
• Virtual Office Hours (Amy has steps?)

Create a Meeting for an instructor and students

     • It refers to inactive students in your course site (that you can’t see).
