Training and Professional Development

  • Blackboard Collaborate

    CETL and UITS are offering two hands-on seminars for instructors who are interested in working with Blackboard Collaborate™, a simple, convenient, and reliable online collaborative learning solution; it’s an excellent vehicle for conducting a virtual class at the last minute when classes are cancelled (all HuskyCT courses include this tool): 

    • “Collaborate: End-User Essentials,” Feb. 22nd, 1:30-3:30 p.m., Rowe 331E:  This session offers a hands-on tutorial for first-time users.  Participants will learn about and experiment with basic features: Moderator/Participant View, Live Audio/Video Setup, Profiles, Chat, Polling, Whiteboard, Recording, and other high-level tools.  Click Collaborate: End-User Essentials to register. 

    • “Collaborate: Beyond the Basics,” Feb. 24th, 9:00-11:00 a.m., Rowe 331E:  Building on the previous session, this one leads participants through experimenting with more advanced Collaborate tools, including Advanced Whiteboard, Application Sharing, Web Tour, Breakout Rooms, and File Transfer.  Click Collaborate: Beyond the Basics to register.

    Seating is limited, so register early!  Please bring a laptop to each session.
