Q. How do I Join a Blackboard Collaborate Session?
If your class is using Blackboard Collaborate, your instructor will have links to Collaborate in your Blackboard course or may email you a link. They will let you know the dates and times the Collaborate sessions will be held.
Collaborate works best in certain browsers. Check if yours is compatible here
If your instructor tells you to join a Blackboard Collaborate session on your Blackboard course page, try following these steps:
- Log into Blackboard from the Current Students page on the Madison College website using your Madison College student email and password
- Click on your course name on the right side of the Blackboard homepage
- Your instructor might have a link to your Collaborate session on the main Newsfeed for your course. Or there might be a link on the left side menu labeled "Collaborate," Collaborate Ultra," or something similar
- A list of scheduled meetings should be displayed with start and end times. Click on a session to join it.
- Click "Join Course Room" in the next pop up
- Collaborate will open in a new window. Prompts will ask for permission to your microphone and webcam. If you experience audio or video problems, click here for more help
