In addition to the F2F sessions, DoIT will also offer virtual drop-in sessions using Blackboard's web-conferencing tool, Collaborate. Any faculty members with Bb questions may participate in these online sessions by visiting the following link at the appointed time: www.umbc.edu/go/collaborate Please note that this is not a formal Blackboard training class. Additional dates and times may be added as demand warrants.

Drop-In sessions will focus on one of the many tools we support, including the following:

• Grade Center
• Adaptive Release
• Collaborate
• Camtasia Relay

Given variation in user needs and scheduling, the Drop-In format will be as follows:

1. Orientation (5 minutes): A quick overview of what the tool does. If all you want is a demo, come early.
2. Recommendations (10 minutes): 1-2 tips based on our observations from providing faculty support, as well identification of effective practices  and practitioners.
3. Q & A (40 minutes): This is your time. What do you want to know? What's a problem you'd like to solve or a new opportunity you'd like to explore?
