Collaborate is Blackboard's online video conferencing tool, providing virtual classroom capability for classes on campus. Collaborate is integrated into Blackboard Learn: each Blackboard course has a Collaborate session created for it.


Faculty and staff can use Collaborate outside of a classroom environment for appropriate use. If you need access to a Collaborate account, please submit a ticket with the request.


To join a Collaborate session as a guest/participant, you will need a guest link provided by the presenter or moderator. Simply open the guest link in a browser to join the session.
