Workshop: Getting Started with Blackboard Collaborate
Wednesday 29th October, 2:30 to 4:30 pm
Blackboard Collaborate is an online collaboration platform which provides a Web Conferencing interface. The highly responsive audio and video features, along with the instant chat and interactive white board features, create a real time environment for all users. Collaborate sessions can be created inside a Blackboard course and are ideal for virtual classrooms or virtual office hours. Come along to this session to experience a Collaborate session and find out how to create one within your course.
This workshop is offered at the intermediate level. Participants should be comfortable with the basic functionality of Blackboard.
Workshop: Adding Video to your Blackboard Course with Kaltura
Thursday 30th October, 2:30 to 4:30 pm
Find out how you can use the Kaltura building block in Blackboard to upload you own video content and share it across multiple courses; create simple screen recordings; or record a short message from your webcam. You can also create video assignments for your students; they upload their videos and you can easily moderate them before adding them to a course gallery.
