Blackboard Collaborate Training

Having signed a three-year licence for Blackboard Collaborate, the BLE re-launched the platform with an event in February, to showcase some excellent examples in the use of web-conferencing across the Bloomsbury Colleges, and to encourage and facilitate its use. Colleagues presented on various topics such as using Collaborate to teach, planning a Collaborate session, and the benefits and challenges of Collaborate for staff and students. Since the event, remote training sessions have run to support existing and new users. For further information about training, please contact  ble@bloomsbury.ac.uk
