We use the latest version of the Ultra solution. There's always, with any tool, a simple, basic way of using the tool as the vendor supports it. That's the basics. Complications come if you're going to add content that goes beyond what is normally covered. Complications could happen. However, Collaborate isn't too complicated. Their alternative was annoying. It still is. When I'm teaching now with Ultra, I do two connections to Collaborate. One is with Chrome so that I can get past the tunnel of mirrors effect where there's an image within an image within an image, and it's a distraction. I have a second connection through Firefox. The students only connect through whatever the operating system is on their devices for viewing and for talking. I'd rate the solution 8 out of ten.
What are virtual meetings? Virtual meetings are real-time online interactions that make use of integrated audio and video, chat features, screen sharing, webinars, and application sharing.
I rate Blackboard Collaborate a six out of ten.
