Last year Blackboard purchased Wimba Live Classroom as well as another live classroom tool called Elluminate. Based on these acquisitions, Blackboard has created a new and improved Live Classroom environment called Blackboard Collaborate. Starting with the Spring 2013 semester all classes that utilize Wimba Live Classroom will transition to the Collaborate environment. This session is being offered to train Faculty & Staff on the new Blackboard Collaborate platform.

Blackboard Collaborate Web Conferencing gives you the functionality you need to support a 21st century teaching and learning environment, such as two-way audio, multi-point video, interactive whiteboard, application and desktop sharing, rich media, breakout rooms, and session recording. Educators and students can engage as if they were in a traditional classroom.

Participants in this workshop will get a solid foundation, enabling them to successfully deliver interactive Blackboard Collaborate web conference sessions. Participants will learn how to effectively manage the session communication tools, display PowerPoint content and record sessions for later playback.

Upon completion of this workshop, learners will be able to:

• Understand the user interface - layouts and customization
• Identify different methods of communication - audio, chat, video, and polling
• Manage classroom interaction from the Participants Panel - participant permission and understanding activity and status indicators
• Manage Whiteboard content
• Generate a session recording

The Blackboard Collaborate platform was built on the philosophy that "no user is left behind." We are committed to this philosophy and as a result, we have developed this workshop to help faculty and course developers to learn how to use the web conferencing accessibility features and functionality. In this hands-on workshop, you will learn how to use the tools, as well as learn tips to engage all types of learners in your sessions.

Upon completion of this workshop, learners will be able to:

• Identify Blackboard Collaborate features that support the needs of users with disabilities.
• Demonstrate the usefulness of features that accommodate users with low vision/blindness, hearing/deafness, or mobility and cognitive impairments.
• Design and develop sessions that are accessible to all users.
• Instruct session participants on how to use the accessibility features.

*Participants will receive an e-mail with the log in and set-up information prior to the training session.
