Here are the instructions if it's your first time there:
Blackboard Collaborate can only be opened on a machine which has the BbC launcher installed in its programme files. so you must first download and install the Blackboard Collaborate launcher as explained here:
You will see that BbC downloads a tiny meeting.collab file, in the same way it does every time you actually join a meeting
Double click on this file to open the room, be patient and say OK to all the warnings it gives you - because it is OK :-)
You've done your tech check and all's OK ?
Then at the time of the meeting just put in your name and click "enter now", once again opening the (new each time) "meeting.collab" file to enter the room
Report to us if you are unable to connect. We can help. You can leave messages in the chatwing chat below (http://chatwing.com/vancestev)
It is also possible (and sometimes easier) to join the meeting from a mobile device - check out "using a mobile device" here
About the event itself
On Sunday, November 6th, 2016, join us at 1400 UTC for a chat in Bb Collaborate to share our experience of the various platforms, of online moderating, and see what's coming up next.
Vance explained to moderators how they could use the LearningTimes Bb Collaborate Webheads Virtual Office graciously provided for the past decade as a grant to Webheads in Action by the good folks at LearningTimes, http://learningtimes.com. The following slides (since expanded over what was shown in the Bb Collaborate session) show how to reserve the room, how to enter the room as a session moderator, how to record the session and make sure the recording is saved on the Elluminate servers, and finally how to find the recording and extract its share link.
This week's EVO Moderator Training discussion is on platforms, badges, and certificates. You can join live at http://webheads.learningtimesevents.org/ or catch the stream here. All sessions held in the Webheads virtual office are by definition open ones, so all are welcome to attend.
