Blackboard Collaborate can now be accessed from your mobile device. Simply download the free App from iTunes.
The App allows you and your students to participate in a scheduled Blackboard Collaborate session using your iPhone, iPod or iPad. Although it isn’t as powerful as the web version of Blackboard Collaborate, it still provides access to the most commonly used functions.
Curtin is upgrading from Elluminate Live! to Blackboard Collaborate on 20 June 2012. Those already familiar with Elluminate Live! will notice a few changes in the interface and you can find out more about these changes on our website.
Blackboard Collaborate is a live web conferencing and virtual classroom platform that allows staff and students to communicate using a real-time learning space. The main features include two-way audio, multipoint video, an interactive whiteboard, application sharing, web tour, polling and session recording.
Liz Frehner, Karen Glaister and Allan Tulloch implemented “Video Critique” a video annotation tool that provides students with the opportunity to record a clinical practice skill, upload it, and then carry out peer and self-reflections on playback.
Lynne Quartermaine utilised the wiki functionality to analyse student productivity and collaboration. Peer-review was favoured by students as it made the assessment enjoyable and fair.
