Blackboard Collaborate (Formerly Elluminate)

 
 
 

About

Blackboard Collaborate (formerly Elluminate) is a web-conferencing tool built specifically for live, multi-media, many-to many collaboration using:

  • Voice over internet (VoIP) audio

  • Live webcam

  • Breakout rooms

  • Interactive whiteboard

  • Chat style messaging

  • Shared viewing of applications

A headset or microphone and earbuds are required to use the VoIP connection. To take full advantage of the interactive distance conference a webcam is also recommended.

In addition to using Blackboard Collaborate to host distance courses and facilitate the Institutional Leaders’ Meetings, this tool will be available upon request to members of the CIRTL Network to conduct meetings, presentations, workshops, and other synchronous distance collaborations related to CIRTL activities.
