Ed-Tech members,
Want to know more about Yammer, the company wide communication and collaboration system, here at UM? Today (Wednesday, June 11, 2014) I will be talking about and demonstrating Yammer during our Virtual Office Hours webinar. There will be basic information as well as some tips that can make Yammer more useful.
Virtual Office Hours is a live webinar, presented by the Learning Platforms team at UM, every Wednesday, 3:30 pm - 4:30 pm, using Blackboard Collaborate. Go to http://tinyurl.com/umiamibb and follow the instructions. It can take some time to get everything set up so either do it once sometime before hand, or get started around 3:00 or so. If you have trouble, call the Blackboard Help Desk at 305-284-3949.
The other topic for today will be "Creating Blackboard Learn Grade Center Columns" by Brett Stephens.
Remember, you can participate from anywhere. You will need to be able to hear us, but the microphone and web cam is completely optional. We use them, you can if you wish.
