Blackboard Collaborate Ultra is a virtual classroom embedded in Blackboard Learn.
Blackboard Collaborate Ultra is a real-time video conferencing tool that lets you add files, share applications, and use a virtual whiteboard to interact. It opens right in your browser, so you don’t have to install any software to join a session.
Instructors use Blackboard Collaborate Ultra to engage their entire class or provide personal attention through group discussions and one-on-one student hours. Blackboard Collaborate Ultra is one of several virtual meeting tool options; UA instructors and students also have access to Microsoft Teams and Zoom.
