What is Blackboard Collaborate?

Collaborate (formerly known as Elluminate) lets you add live interaction to your online classes-- from lectures and presentations to small group discussions and debates.  It offers numerous accessibility features, cross-platform support and all-bandwidth connectivity (no lag time or garbled communication, regardless of Internet connection speed, even at 28.8.kbps).
