[BB] UM Bb Virtual Office Hour
Dear Blackboard users,
Please join us on Wednesday, 5/7/2014, 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.
This week there will be presentations about end of semester activities (archive course, export grade center, export grade history) and flipped classroom, Dr. Wang from the Biology department will be talking about his experience in the topic. 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

Thank you,
