==============
Virtually all classes at KSU have a Blackboard site created for them.
The Collaborate Ultra platform is a tool built into each Blackboard class site.
Assuming you have set up your class on Blackboard, you will have an entry point (e.g., Home, Announcements, Email) and several Folders (e.g., Start Here, Learning Materials, etc.).
You can choose to place your Collaborate Ultra room anywhere you like.

3c. The Collaborate Ultra Room - The Session Menu with a Focus on the Room Recording (18:31)
This video looks at the Collaborate Ultra Room's Session menu, but the focus is on the Room Recording.
· We see what a session looks like from the Instructor's view, the Student's view, and the Room Recording.
· The video shows Recorded views of Files, Sharing the Screen, Sharing a Google Tab, and sharing files into Breakout Rooms.
--A caution is given that if an instructor ENTERS a Breakout Room during a Room Recording, the recording STOPS.
--A suggestion is made that for many purposes Sharing a Screen, App, or Tab may be more effective than Sharing Files.
· Also viewed are the Reports available and downloading the Room Recording.
