Join us for this half way meeting on Sunday 30th October 2016 at 14:00 GMT - click here to see the time where you are
In the Webheads Blackboard Collaborate room here http://webheads.learningtimesevents.org/
The meeting will be streamed lower on this page by our tech guru Vance, and the recording will remain available here after the event, but try not to miss the fun of joining in.
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:
using Safari on a Mac (careful - the downloader file is different for Macs)
Here is a set of crowd-sourced tutorials if all else fails
http://goodbyegutenberg.pbworks.com/w/page/71255037/2014_tutorials#Whattodowiththecollabfileintroducedin2015
Then, with the BbC launcher installed on your machine
- Visit http://webheads.learningtimesevents.org/ and follow instructions at the TECH CHECK tab
- 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
It is also possible (and sometimes easier) to join the meeting from a mobile device - check out "using a mobile device" here

Why have we been having trouble with this?
Google+ Hangout on Air now functions through http://youtube.com/live, as of September 2016
Coordinators are working to adapt to the new ecosystem.
Bear with us and when we've worked it out, we'll train you :-)
One thing the new ecosystem has made possible is normalized streaming of other apps such as Bb Collaborate.
At this event we will meet in BbC, which should accommodate all who are able to connect. The caveat is "able to connect."
We hope to model for you in this demonstration one way you might conduct your own live sessions.
