Blackboard Collaborate Lesson Recipes
These ‘Lesson Recipes’ aims to help you facilitate learning activities with your students. They are based on staff experiences and pedagogic good practice.
Each lesson recipe provides you with…
- the process from scheduling the event > leading the activity > closing the activity.
- links to additional guidance if you are not sure how to do something in Collaborate.
- tips for dealing with unexpected issues and for getting more boom for your buck when using the activity.
The lesson recipes have been grouped according to how fluent students need to be with Collaborate and/or with other technologies such as working collaboratively with a shared PowerPoint.
