Introducing the new Blackboard Learn integrated virtual classroom-- Blackboard (Bb) Collaborate Web Conferencing!

Bb Collaborate has replaced Wimba Live Classroom and will eventually become the sole virtual classroom in the Bb Learn system.

For those who are familiar with Wimba Live Classroom, the new Bb Collaborate has many of the same and even more enhanced features. Here are a few of the features:  

  • create, organize, and automate most activities in Bb Collaborate (using the companion software application Elluminate! Plan*
  • display up to six speakers, including video and audio, at one time
  • closed captioning capability 
  • create "on the fly" presentations
  • deliver content in real time (synchronous)
  • create separate rooms for group collaboration 
  • archive the entire classroom for later use

 During the workshop, participants will begin with Elluminate Plan, a new application which enables instructors to create automated lesson plans, then participants will upload their 'plan' into Bb Collaborate, where they will become familiar with the new interface. Lastly, participants will 'publish' their archive using the software application Elluminate Publish! into various digital formats such as .mp4, .mp3, or .wav file. 


The session will a 1.5 hours for faculty and staff. Contact Katara Davis at 934-0410 for more information.
