Recently I was asked to do a workshop to introduce a department to Collaborate.  When I asked what they wanted to cover the list kept getting longer and longer.  So rather than spend the time doing live demos I built on some slides that Amy Eyre  had shared some time ago, and in the spirit of the community I'm sharing these back.  I also have a few examples for ice-breakers that I used.

As part of my roll-out plan for Blackboard Collaborate I wanted to add some light contextual help that acknowledged that Collaborate was something new, that directed staff and students to support resources, and that stated the recommended browsers.  To this end I created a JSHack which I am now sharing to the wider community.

In my last post we had reached an impasse while migrating legacy content .  The tool claimed it had worked, but there was no evidence from the data that it had. In this post I share how I got on with Blackboard support and some other news from our SaaS Migration Project.
