Our 2nd Joint USFSP UT Videoconference -- via BBCU

By the time of our mid-point check-in, we were all distance learning from the safety of our homes.  Instead of trying to join by skype in our classroom, this time we were using the Blackboard Collaborate Ultra platform in our LMS Canvass.

BBCU allows us to invite guests to participate -- so the faculty and students at UT can join us even though they are not enrolled in our course.

Actually - this worked out MUCH better than our videoconference in our face-to-face classroom (where each student needed to approach my laptop in order to use the microphone).  And we did not have the technology/connectivity issues as we had in the classroom -- getting the video and sound to work.  This is another area where I may re-think the platform and technology that I use for these kind of "global classroom" projects. 

The BBCU worked perfectly -- each participant with her own video and microphone.
