Blackboard Collaborate Cohort Program
for Wimba Classroom Customers
Next program begins October 16, 2013 (date subject to change). Sign up below.
Are
you ready for Blackboard Collaborate? Before upgrading, we recommend
you attend our Blackboard Collaborate Cohort Program for Wimba
Classroom Customers. If you want to learn about the new front-end and
integration functionality of Blackboard Collaborate web conferencing,
this 8-week webinar series is for you. And it's FREE!
Learn from
the Collaborate Team. Share experiences and ideas with other
institutions who are in the process of upgrading or who are already
using Blackboard Collaborate. Ultimately, the Cohort Program brings
like-minded customers together, so you can collectively move together
through this change management phase and get the resources you need to
be successful.
