What is this service?
Blackboard Collaborate Ultra is a web-based platform designed for use in online teaching. If this is your first time teaching online or you're feeling a bit rusty, a member of IT or CDE can join you in your class for the first 15-20 minutes (or longer if necessary) to ensure things run smoothly.
Why is it useful?
Blackboard Collaborate is the online class space you can use for lectures, office hours, and meeting with students. It provides a variety of features such as breakout rooms, recording of lectures, attendance reporting, chat, hand-up and reaction participation, screen sharing and quizzing. Having someone knows the tips and tricks for faculty as well as the ability to assist students who may be using Collaborate for the first time can help put an instructor at ease.
