Description
Are you interested in taking your course online, but want to engage your students in a more meaningful way? Learn how to leverage Blackboard Collaborate and some of the new tools featured in the Ultra course experience!
In Blackboard Collaborate, instructors are able to create breakout sessions which allows for students to converse in a smaller settings, then share back with the larger class. Students are able to work on documents, share screens, and draw on a shared whiteboard in their breakout sessions.
Through Assignments in Ultra Courses, instructors may enable class conversations which allows students to asynchronously communicate through a discussion board, and even set up a time to meet through their own Blackboard Collaborate room that is specific to their group.
