This OER provides an overview of Collaborate ultra for live online teaching. Collaborate Ultra allows you to share audio, video, files and applications, use a virtual whiteboard and run polls. There is also a ‘breakout room’ feature which you can use to support small group interaction within your classes.

At Trinity we use Collaborate Ultra for live online teaching. This is a virtual classroom within your Blackboard module that is designed to support synchronous teaching events, facilitating real-time communication between students and teachers. You can use Collaborate Ultra to support your ‘real-time’ live teaching in hybrid/blended or online provision. This OER provides general guidelines and information on managing breakout rooms.
