As an A&M-SA Faculty, you have another option for your real-time video Conferencing tool, which you can access directly from your Blackboard courses.  It's called Blackboard Collaborate! 

Similar to Adobe Connect, Blackboard Collaborate provides a virtual meeting classroom for you and your students.  Perfect for distance learning classes, hyflex or even virtual office hours, Blackboard Collaborate offers the following features: 

• Ability to communicate in real-time with your students
• Ability to record your course sessions
• An interactive whiteboard feature
• Ability to share your screen as you teach 
• A simplified step of posting recorded lectures to your blackboard course
• Ability to view and attend class via your phone or tablet

If you'd like to know more about Collaborate or schedule an individual or small group workshop/training, please contact your Instructional Learning Specialist or the Director of the Center for Academic Innovation.
