Last week I eventually found some time to do a trial recording in Collaborate Ultra - not the most exciting topic - Harvard Referencing. Also, I didn't have any participants, so I couldn't test out the interactive functions. However, the recording went into a forum comprised of about thirty other lecturers, most of whom have contributed a recording. Then, feedback was given on the visual and audio quality of the presentation. I had recorded in an open area, just with a set of headphones and a microphone. So, most of the feedback focussed on the audio being "tinny" and the presence of an echoe. Most of the feedback was encouraging, and I will definitely have another go in the next few weeks. I'd like to find a way to share it here on this blog. Any idea how this could be done Brigitte?
I have also been exploring the Blackboard Collaborate website; and of course, they provide a blog, which serves as the focal point for a variety of communities: https://community.blackboard.com/. These communities cater for people from different areas: There doesn't seem to be very many participants or posts. This could be that people may feel reluctant to participate on a corporate blog, as opposed to a more personal one. There also appears to be a Facebook page, which I will check out in due course.

Hi Natalie, well done, it is always hard trying new technology on your own, having to pretend ;) When you say that the recording went to a forum, how did it get there? Even though I haven't used Collaborate Ultra, usually the recording is saved 'somewhere' and then you can share it. If you have the recording (.mp4) then you can upload it to Google Drive and share it or upload to YouTube and then embed the video into your blog. Does that help?
