Introduction

The guidance in this section relates to live presentations or Vivas delivered via Blackboard Collaborate. If your assessment requires students to create and submit a video or audio recording then please refer to the guidance on video assignments.

...

Familiarise yourself with Blackboard Collaborate and review the Moderator Checklist. If the session will have External Examiners then Guest Links will need to be generated and shared prior to the session.

...

Please do not share Guest Links with anyone other than those that require them as anyone with the link will be able to join the session.

Setting Up a Collaborate Session

Collaborate sessions are set up by adding an activity within Moodle. This video (17 minutes) shows how to set up a Blackboard Collaborate room within Moodle and use it for a live seminar or teaching event. Thanks to Ian Calder, UCL School of Management, for giving us permission to use this video. This video has captions and a transcript.

Alternatively, follow the instructions in the Blackboard Collaborate Resource Centre article Creating a Collaborate Session.
