Recording the session

Using CollaborateTM

• Office hours with students (any day – any time)

• Class Review Sessions

• Student Group meetings

Technical issues ?

• Web browsers and settings

• Video / Sound checks – plan ahead

• Can phone in to session if audio is not working

Impact

• Transformed on-line course experience

• More rewarding as a professor – connecting with class

• Students love it! Can access recording if miss session

• Enable class participation with other students – similar to

“ïn-class” experience.

It’s catching on !

• Sharing with other colleagues –

• Enabler of teaching and learning in our increasingly

connected world – and emphasis on digital everything!

Bottom Line – Collaborating is good!

• We can still connect “real-time” with our students, and they

can connect with us – in the on-line teaching environment

• There are many platforms – this is just my lived experience

with Blackboard CollaborateTM
