[BB] Blackboard office hours 2/26/2014

Dear Blackboard users,

 

Please join us on Wednesday, 2/26/2014, 3:30 p.m. - 4:30 p.m., for our "UM Bb Office Hours" webinar. You can participate from your office, your home, or anywhere you can get an internet connection. Sessions will take place using Collaborate, the web conferencing system built into Blackboard. 

Go to http://tinyurl.com/umiamibb, enter your name, and the Collaborate java application should start. It should all be automatic, but it may take a few minutes the first time you do it. You can even try it out right now, to make sure you can get in.

There will be presentations on using Collaborate as a participant, leading a Collaborate session and Blackboard adaptive release. There will also be plenty of time for open discussion and questions. 

We plan on doing this every Wednesday at 3:30 pm. We hope you can join us
