Blackboard Collaborate Ultra - Instructor Guide

Introduction

Blackboard Collaborate Ultra is a real-time webinar tool that allows faculty and students to synchronously communicate online with participants anywhere in the world. They can share audio and video, take part in polls, share files and applications and use a virtual whiteboard to interact. The pages below provide guidance for staff who wish to use Blackboard Collaborate Ultra.
