I'm not sure I would want the creators of Webex to design the capus of the future. Webex was so widely disliked it single-handed led to the revolution in videoconferencing by sending users fleeing to Zoom. We had a corporate Webex platform available at the start of the pandemic but have been using Zoom, Teams, even Google Meet (all of which I used this morning in back-to-back-to-back meetings), anything but Webex. It should have taught Cisco something. At least there's a free version you can use, which is a start (you have to create an account and tell them where you are). But is the future of the campus really based on how to "update classrooms to be inclusive for virtual learners" or "integrate your Learning Management System with your collaboration technology"? Anyhow, the article points you to a 'next campus story' (complete with flippy pages) that will eventually (if you look for it) lead to their build a flexible campus page (though the 'start building' link leads to an error 404).
