The course room is an open session dedicated to your course.
This makes it easier for you to use Collaborate with the Ultra experience in your courses. It also provides you and your students a convenient launch point for classes or impromptu meetings.
The course room is on by default but can be turned off. To learn more, see Turn off the course room.
Not sure where to find Blackboard Collaborate in your course? Jump to Join Sessions and select your LMS.
Select the session name or Session options menu to join the session. This opens a panel with the information to you need to join the session:
- Join Session link associated with your account. Select this to open the session. Each link is unique to an individual session and a user in that session. This means that the link only works for you in that session. You are not able to use the link to join session again or share your link with another user. Session links expire after 5 minutes.
- Dial in information, if available
