Bb Collaborate Ultra Essentials

Skill Builder workshops focus on core components of Blackboard. They are intended for novice users of the learning management system (LMS) who need to learn how to use core components & supporting technologies, or for users who want to refresh their skills.

Blackboard Collaborate is a real-time video conferencing tool that lets you add files, share applications, and use a virtual whiteboard to interact with students. Collaborate with the Ultra experience opens right in your browser (Chrome recommended), so you don't have to install any software to join a session.
