Individual Chat for Blackboard Collaborate Ultra

Blackboard Collaborate Ultra is a virtual classroom that can be enable and deployed in your organization or course shell. 

Preferred browser for Blackboard Collaborate Ultra is Google Chrome!

A new feature as of August 2017 allows participants to chat with other participants individually along with group chat.  Below we will walk you through how to FIRST setup as a moderator and then use this new feature.

2. Select
   Course Management > Control Panel > Course Tools > Blackboard Collaborate Ultra
   OR
