Just a quick followup. I was recently alerted that Blackboard Collaborate client does NOT support Java v7 and has some know issues when running with Java v7. Please launch the web start application with Java v6 to avoid complications. If you don't know what version of java you have, open up a command prompt or terminal on your client machine and type:

java --fullversion

This will show you the java version on your path.

Thanks so much!

Blackboard Collaborate (Ellumiate Live!) Tips:

For our web conferences we will try out Blackboard Collaborate web conferencing software. You do not need any special client, just a web browser and java installed (the client will run as a java web start app). You don't need to use a headset, but if you have one it does improve your audio. I will try to open up the session 15 minutes early for people to join and try out the technology.

A couple of things to mention, when you launch your session - you can tune your connection speed:

Talking works like a walkie-talkie ... you have to select "Talk" (see capture below) to open up your audio line. There can only be 6 simultaneous talkers. Please only select the talk button when you need to actually talk to reduce background noise and to free up lines for others to participate.

Thanks!
