[ED-TECH] Blackboard Collaborate for use outside of Blackboard Learn

On April 1st, today, the Learning Platforms team in Academic Technologies, a part of UMIT, will be announcing the availability of the Blackboard Collaborate system for webinars and web conferencing. The event will take place 2:00 pm - 3:00 pm. You can attend in person at Richter Library, Room 305, or online at the  http://tinyurl.com/umiamibb  web site. To register, please go to  http://iacevents.org  and select the session you wish to attend.

Blackboard Collaborate has been available inside of Blackboard Learn for a while. Now it will be available outside of Blackboard Learn as a full webinar and web conferencing system. Blackboard Collaborate supports video, audio, presentations, and screen sharing. People do not have to be part of UM in order to be a participant or a moderator of a session.
