Collaborate Information
What is Collaborate?
Blackboard Collaborate is a tool to conduct web-conferencing as well as comprehensive online learning.
Creating Sessions
Sessions can ONLY be created using Sakai. NPS Staff and Faculty may contact clehelp@nps.edu to request a Sakai site which they can use to create sessions.
Once sessions are created, participants do not need to be enrolled in the course site to join. Session creators will get a Guest Link which they can email to desired participants.
Connecting to a Session
Use the NPS Collaborate Test Session at any time to test your connection to a Collaborate Session. Instructions and troubleshooting for various operating systems are below.
