Introduction to Blackboard Collaborate for University of Southampton Staff

Introduction

I was asked to put on a webinar about Collaborate. This was in the middle of April 2020 when we had just implemented it and were in the middle of our SaaS migration project. I recorded this video instead early on a Sunday morning. Since then it has had more than 3000 views. As Collaborate has been updated many times since then, much of the content is now out of date.
