Blackboard Collaborate

Collaborate is a virtual meeting space in which you can facilitate online interactions via voice, video, and text. Blackboard Collaborate can be used as a virtual classroom, a medium to hold virtual office hours, or as an online meeting space for group work and communication.

Collaborate has a number of features that make it an interactive way to communicate with students online including voice and text chat and the interactive whiteboard. You can use this whiteboard to post content and engage students in activities. With a little practice, you can facilitate virtual meetings using breakout rooms, timed activities, polls, and quizzes.
