We have recently enabled a Zoom integration for online tutoring sessions conducted through the Critical Writing Center’s WCOnline tutoring scheduler.
Zoom will automatically be utilized for WCOnline appointments, under the following conditions; The tutor hosting the meeting on the schedule must be:
- signed up for a Penn Zoom account
- signed up for WCOnline using theirpennkey@upenn.edu (e.g. no @sas.upenn.edu). You can click here to change the email address you are using for WCOnline, if need be.
If the tutor is not signed up for Zoom or uses any other email address, the built-in WCOnline meeting tool will automatically be used instead.
Others (non-tutors) joining the meeting do not need either of the above — they can join the meeting with or without a zoom account and can use WCOnline with any email address.
Tutors with meetings on the WCOnline calendar that will take place on Zoom will see an automatically generated unique Zoom link in the appointment’s details + will see the Zoom meeting scheduled in their Penn Zoom account calendar. There is a chance this could function slightly differently if the tutor has configured their Zoom account to schedule appointments differently.
