Blackboard+and+Elluminate

=Blackboard and Elluminate=

Many universities use Blackboard for online courses. Blackboard provides numerous tools for education: discussion boards, wikis, tests, surveys, assignments, communication, evaluation, and more. Blackboard has purchased Elluminate, which is now called "Collaborate." Through Schoolweb, LISD faculty can utilize Blackboard Collaborate. Instructions for creating an Elluminate session will be posted here soon. (It may still be called Elluminate on Schoolweb.)

An example of an online session in Blackboard Collaborate is "Virtual Tornado Rescue: a Library Exhibit and Simulation" with Valerie HIll at the Lib 2.0 conference online. (Please scroll in about 5 minutes to get passed the initial set up as it was the first time Valerie used this platform!) Click on this LINK:
