Group
Presentations
with
Collaborate
An
essential
part
of
this
course
is
working
within
a
team
of
three
to
produce
two
case
presentations.
You
will
receive
your
group
and
case
assignments
at
the
beginning
of
the
course.
The
presentations
should
be
no
longer
than
15
minutes;
they
should
also
be
recorded
and
posted
so
all
students
can
view
them.
This
document
will
instruct
you
on
using
Collaborate,
a
tool
within
your
course,
to
accomplish
this
objective.
Because
this
is
an
online
course,
you
may
want
to
schedule
group
web
conferences
to
discuss
your
case
and
organize
your
presentation.
You
can
use
Collaborate
for
planning
purposes
or
any
of
the
solutions
listed
below,
especially
if
you
are
more
familiar
with
them:
• Google
Hangouts:
http://www.google.com/+/learnmore/hangouts/
• Skype:
http://www.skype.com/
• Join.me:

c. Fill
out
the
schedule
information
for
the
session.
The
time
zone
defaults
to
Arizona
time.
It
is
advisable
that
you
allow
at
least
15
minutes
for
early
session
entry
to
allow
your
teammates
time
to
get
into
the
tool.
d. Complete
the
Session
Attributes
section.
It
is
advisable
to
set
the
Recording
Mode
to
Manual.
This
allows
you
to
start
the
session
only
when
you
are
ready
to
get
into
the
substance
of
the
presentation.
After
you
complete
the
Information
tab,
do
not
click
Submit.
Rather,
please
click
the

tab
to

setting
up
the

you

eventually
share
with
your
teammates.
Please
scroll
down
to

Guest

and
click
Allow

This
will
cause
Blackboard
Collaborate
to
generate
a
link
that
you
can
then
send
to
your
fellow
teammates.
It
is
important
that
only
one
student
creates
the
session
for
the
Group
Presentation.
You
should
determine
which
one
of
your
teammates
should
accomplish
this
task.
