If your instructor decides to hold live videoconferencing (synchronous) class sessions, these will be held at your scheduled class time. The link to the videoconference room will be posted in Blackboard. Collaborate Ultra will generally be the software used. Instructions for using Collaborate Ultra are posted below.

Some instructors may choose to not hold live class sessions and opt for an asynchronous delivery. In that case, they will post content and exercises for you to complete on your own. They will stipulate the due dates and expectations for your participation.

When using videoconferencing software such as Collaborate Ultra or Zoom, use the audio-only option unless asked to use video by the professor or if you doing small group work. Video takes up a lot more bandwidth than audio and with so many people using these technologies and the internet at the same time, there may be more disruptions to service while using video.
