The Blackboard Collaborate Ultra Building Block uses Learning Tools Interoperability ® (LTI) compliant credentials. You need to request new credentials after you install this building block. If you previously used the LTI integration to add Collaborate to your Blackboard Learn instance, you can reuse those credentials.
Instructors decide what makes a student present, late, or absent. Collaborate then does the attendance tracking for them and sends the information to the course Attendance page for review and grading.
Work groups inside your course can use Collaborate on their own too if you want it. Finally, give students in your courses their own private group space to meet in their group tools. These group sessions are self-organized and a great place for students to practice presenting online. Instructors don’t need to do anything except make the group space available.

Attendance is not tracked in course rooms. Let Collaborate take attendance for you. Your Blackboard Learn instructors can host a Collaborate session without tracking attendance manually. Based on criteria you and your instructors can set, Collaborate tracks if a student is present, late, or absent from a session.
Students can access Collaborate sessions from directly in a course. Instructors don’t need to send invites. A course room is available for use any time. Instructors don’t have to create new sessions unless they want to.
Record in short chunks. For example, a 60 minute lecture could be published in 6 parts.
The recordings in Blackboard are accessible to anyone with the URL of the recording. The recording could get published more broadly than you intend if somebody makes the URL public.
