You can access the Collaborate Ultra tool from the link that you have added to the course menu or from the “ Course Tools ”, and selecting BB Collaborate Ultra.

Lock the course room

It is preferable not to have a virtual class open for students all the time. We advise that you lock the “Course Room” and create sessions with specific dates and times. If you insist on using the course room, please make sure you lock it after you complete your virtual class with the students.
