During the fall 2011 semester, the Information Technology Services Faculty
Technology Center (formerly the Multimedia Resource Center) is offering free
previews of the new Blackboard Collaborate (formerly Elluminate) to prepare
faculty and staff for the spring 2012 upgrade. Previews are scheduled in the
Gibson Annex training room throughout this semester.
Blackboard Collaborate blends several technologies
into one tool that can be used to create online classroom experiences or hold
collaborative web conferences. New features and enhancements, basic usage, and
virtual room scheduling through a Blackboard Learn course will be demonstrated.

live online sessions of the training at http://bit.ly/collaboratedemo.
