Online Rooms in Brightspace
2021-01-19 14:00 - 15:00 (America/St_Johns)
Online Rooms is a “web-conferencing” application accessible within each Brightspace course site. This tool allows you to schedule and host synchronous sessions with your students. Some ways to use this tool include hosting online office hours, review sessions prior to an exam, guest speaker presentations, or allowing your students to make presentations. Synchronous sessions can be recorded for review, or you can use the room to record your own lectures. This session will demonstrate the features of the room and share best practices for using these features.
