I missed it, but I was confident that the media would be archived, which is indeed the case. However, the media file is in the proprietary .arf format from WebEx. Though I searched extensively, I was unable to locate a method for converting the file to a more usable form. Of course, I COULD just view the materials on-line, but where's the fun in that? The download-able media player supports only Windows and Mac. I was about to hold my nose and install the player when I was inspired to attempt a Wine installation. I downloaded the WebEx .arf Player, set the executable permission on the .msi file and booted it under Wine. Wine happily took it and installed it and the downloaded media played without a hiccup.
