Chapter 5: Using Blackboard Collaborate
Blackboard Collaborate is a powerful Web-conferencing tool that allows instructors to connect to their students in a real-time environment. Collaborate is versatile--you can use it for most any instructional purpose, from recording a lecture to hosting live course meetings.
Collaborate allows you to share your computer screen with your students, and it allows them to share theirs with you, too. You can send your students on a website tour, or lecture with a traditional PowerPoint. Students engage with Web cams, microphones and text chat, and can even raise their hands when they have a question.
This chapter teaches you how to use Collaborate's features, and accompanies the live, synchronous Collaborate training session. See your Blackboard Faculty Training course for dates and times for the Collaborate training session.
