Blackboard Collaborate Ultra- Part 2
Presented by: Kevin Dooley, M.S.
The Virtual Classroom
• Once in the classroom you will need to:
• See how many of the students have cameras and headsets with
microphones
• Some won’t and will have to use the “Chat” system, which is good enough
• For those who do, have them:
• Lower volume to reduce feedback from the microphones
• Have a one to two page student quick reference for new students loaded
and have them follow it to become familiar with procedures
• Remind students that the session is being recorded and that includes their
language and comments
