Running an Online Session in Collaborate – 3rd April 2019, 13:45 – 15:00
Blackboard Collaborate is an online virtual classroom and meeting space which allows users to connect via audio, see each other via webcams, use a chat tool, collaborate on documents and view presentations as well as other features. Available as a plugin on all Blackboard modules, Collaborate is invaluable for engaging with students who are unable to come onto campus due to other commitments or travel problems. Some courses have used collaborate to increase student engagement by allowing students to engage remotely if they wish. Other applications include:
- Tutorials
- Delivering lectures on snow days
- Facilitating guest speakers
The best way to get to know a new tool is by using it, so this session will be delivered online using the Collaborate virtual classroom. Guidance on best practice will be discussed and participants will be able to experience the interactive features this tool has to offer. There will also be a chance for discussion and questions.
If you are interested in attending either of these sessions, you can sign up via the Staff Development Workshops Page.
