What is collaborative learning?
Collaborate enables your instructor to share content, making the session more dynamic. Most of the time, you will enter a Course Room in the role of Participant, and the instructor will be the Moderator. The instructor can change your role from Participant to Presenter, which would increase your content sharing options. Be aware that poor internet connections and slow speeds may interfere with sharing. Therefore, you should be on a private network (e.g., at home) rather than a public one (e.g., public place, such as a school, restaurant, coffee shop).

However, if your instructor has enabled features, you will have many options for interacting and sharing items.
