Web Conferencing

Are you looking for an opportunity to engage your online students?  Enhance classroom instruction with live guests?  Conduct virtual meetings or office hours?  Blackboard Collaborate is a web conferencing tool that will allow you interact with students and colleagues. 

Personally, I use a web conferencing tool to hold a “live chat” during every week of my online courses to review materials, answer questions and hold discussions.  Furthermore, in the CTE we use it to hold division meetings and monthly faculty meetings.  The opportunities are endless!  

Check out this video for more details:  Blackboard Collaborate Web Conferencing Orientation for Moderators!  

We are holding regular training sessions for Collaborate this fall.

• Monday, August 31, 3:00 – 4:00 pm
• Tuesday, September 8, 10:00 – 11:00 am
• Wednesday, October 14, 11:00 am – 12:00 pm
• Thursday, November 19, 3:00 – 4:00 pm

For help with this tool and many others, stop by the CTE, send an email to cte@triton.edu or call extension 3371.
