Collaborate is a web conference system that is part of the Blackboard Learning Management System. Each semester when the ������ Office of Information Technology creates your course shell, a connection to Collaborate is also created. Collaborate provides a system to meet with your students synchronously no matter where the students or you are located.

How to create a scheduled session

1. Log in to Blackboard


2. Under “Course Management,” click “Course Tools”


3. Click “Blackboard Collaborate”


4. Click “Create Session”


5. Give the session a name


6. Set the time and date for the session


7. Allow at least 15 minutes for early entry into session (up to one hour may be allowed for early entry)

for more custom options available to you in Collaborate.
