It will include the name of the meeting, the time it starts according to the users timezone, the duration of the meeting, the meeting profile, a link to "Check Status / Join Meeting", a link for teachers and Admins that appears once the meeting is over showing the meeting participation logs, and shows entered meeting description. It also contains a link to download the Marratech client. Depending on whether or not your Marratech Administrator has Java Web Start turned on you may need to download the client.

Updating an eMeeting

There are two ways to update an eMeeting. You can go to your main course page, click "Turn editing on", and then click the button that looks like a hand. Alternatively, you can click on the eMeeting itself and then click on the "Update this eMeeting" button on the right hand side of the bar at the top of the page. This button will appear on both the eMeeting details page and the Meeting Status page.

The update interface is effectively identical to the interface for creating a new eMeeting; however, the details from your current meeting will already be filled in for you. Updating still goes through the availability check, so if you change the time, you may run into licensing conflicts (see the help on creating a meeting for more details). You cannot update a meeting that is already in progress.

If you wish to update an eMeeting that has guests invited to it, you will notice that when you go to the 2nd update page a table shows the guest user with a check box next to his or her name. If you were to uncheck this box this would cause the guest to be uninvited. This means that they will not have access to the eMeeting and they will receive a friendly email telling them that the eMeeting has been cancelled.

Deleting an eMeeting

There are two ways to delete an eMeeting. First, you can go to the main course page, and click "Turn editing on". Then, click the X-shaped icon next to the eMeeting you wish to delete. You will be prompted with a message asking if you are sure you wish to delete the eMeeting; if you are, click "Yes." Otherwise, you can click "No," and the meeting will not be deleted.

In addition, you can also delete an eMeeting by going to the eMeeting Details page and clicking the "Delete eMeeting" button on the right side of the page, below the "Update this eMeeting" button. This works in the same way as clicking on the X on the main page. When you delete a meeting it will also delete it on Marratech if it is in progress.
