Scheduling Group Meetings

Would you like to use Collaborate to meet with other students? You have 2 options for setting up your own group meetings:

• You may launch a Collaborate session through Blackboard IM and invite your group members to the session. Students may launch Collaborate sessions using the Conference button in Blackboard IM (see details about how to do this). Additional information on using this feature is available in the Blackboard IM User Guide in the chapter labeled "Using Web Conferencing".
   
• You may schedule a group meeting through D2L Online Rooms. You should see the "Online Rooms" option in the course site in D2L.

  Please note that you may be accessing a previous version of Blackboard Collaborate (known as "Elluminate") when using D2L Online Rooms. If you run into any support questions or problems while using Elluminate, please refer to the Elluminate Live! V10 Participant Training and Documentation.

Moderator status is needed for the following tasks:

• upload a PowerPoint
• start/stop recordings (recording cannot be paused in sessions that are set to automatically record)
• conduct a "Web Tour" (open browser window on participants' computers)
• transfer files to participants
• make other participants moderators
• create a new, blank screen on the whiteboard
• application sharing
