Blackboard Collaborate Ultra

[@rosemaryblessman6451]

Most helpful video on Collaborate Ultra that I have viewed so far. Thanks!

[@ivan_the_iman]

Who’s here after the corona?

[@petew9758]

yup

[@trianglezero6423]

Everybody pretty much

[@doggydog7840]

yep :/

[@juliad857]

Was ready to tear my hair out--I'm adequately computer-savvy, but the tutorials I've been given were so jargon-heavy and oversaturated with extra details that I just couldn't absorb it. All I wanted was a simple, "here it is" tutorial on a video class, and this was it. Wahoo. Thanks.

[@charlesstutts4578]

Excellent job lecturing Katie ! You keep things simple enough for me to follow.

[@gncarnes]

I agree that this was an excellent tutorial. I got more out of this video than I did from visiting the Blackboard Collaborate Ultra! Thanks much, Katie!

[@jcrocks6698]

Yes. The one from Blackboard itself is useless. I am guessing that's why they turned off the comments

[@davidsummergrad810]

Very helpful, Katie! Thanks! Hope you are safe and well!

[@louisestanton3292]

This such a good tutorial. Thank you Katie! Stay well

[@Em-jr3mo]

how many audience blacboard can accomodate?

[@Sma258]

Thanks 🙏🏻

[@edwinsuson9951]

Thanks for the information. Does BB Collab has virtual background so they will not see what inside my room? Thanks

[@Mozzermarr10]

Wonderful tutorial. Thanks for this.

[@davidmcguire330]

Really helpful video. Thank you!

[@rossanaq]

what I don´t like about Bb is that does not play audios without using the screen. I teach children and use it at work and when we play music, we cannot see kids dancing :/

[@MichelleEGabay]

Super helpful! Thanks for sharing this!

[@cornellcarpenter959]

how do you find the video for later viewing?

[@konulilyasqizi5899]

I'm very thanksfull to you! It is so great explanation!

[@markoc4896]

KoNuL ILyaSqizi idk if you put that in google translate or you just wanted to trigger her because she’s a teacher

[@hollywestell9523]

Very good tutorial, but I would like to know 2 things -- 1) Do I need to send the URL (of the class) to the students so that they can join it, or can they see the sessions that I have created "as they open"? 2) If I have uploaded various PDF files into my Course documents area, is there a quick way to add these PDF/PPT files to the BBCU screen in the Sharing area?

[@katiewalker4857]

1. Not if you set up the session inside Blackboard. 2. No.

[@danielmcconkie8556]

This was a great tutorial, thanks!

[@aliontas]

Thanks for this excellent tutorial. They usually drive me out of my mind, but this was great. Do you have any examples of classes in session via Ultra?

[@katiewalker4857]

I have be careful re FERPA so can't share one with real students

[@irissalvador5104]

great tutorial, is not any way that I can see the video later?

[@katiewalker4857]

Do you mean record it? Yes. There is a record option.

[@ibrokemyownheart4953]

Can I mute myself?

[@Kendo276]

Katie what happens with recording of a session? Also can students screenshot or somehow download your PowerPoint? I teach criminal investigations class and don’t want certain photos being shared outside the class.

[@nate.202]

Why not zoom? 😔

[@jcrocks6698]

Because although they claimed so at first, Zoom is Not encrypted, and therefore, there are FERPA and sometimes HIPPA issues. Also, file sharing is different.

[@bowtie_politics]

This is a great tutorial. Thank you for your time and effort on this. One thing to ask: when you start recording the session, and then you stop, is there a space where the recording is saved and that you can re-use/upload somewhere for students who are unable to join that particular session? Thanks for any response.

[@katiewalker4857]

For us, Collaborate is incorporated into our Blackboard LMS so the recordings automatically show up in the course in Blackboard.

[@bowtie_politics]

@@katiewalker4857 thanks. I figured out where the recordings were stored--under the '3 lines' and the "Recordings" section. I appreciate your help.

[@OmarAl963]

she has to many options I don't have most of them as a student I don't even have access to put my profile picture ???

[@juntong8488]

Nice and clear. May I ask a quick question? Is there any way to track attendance, i.e., student's login history?

[@katiewalker4857]

Not really. There is a feature for Blackboard but I haven't found it to be accurate. I use a paper spreadsheet and if I miss it, I go back and check the recording.
