Collaborate Ultra is a synchronous, virtual classroom. Its features include the use of audio, video, chat, polling, interactive whiteboard, and content-sharing tools-all designed to make the online classroom experience as robust as possible. Every session may be recorded for future review/reuse.

Collaborate Ultra will no longer be available in Drexel Learn as of June 13, 2024. Faculty can use the new Zoom Course Meetings tool to integrate that web conferencing platform with their courses.

• Synchronous or asynchronous content delivery in a virtual classroom
• Multi-way audio and video
• Easy upload of PowerPoint presentations
• Application sharing and polling
• Session archives

Instructors can create Collaborate Ultra sessions directly inside of Blackboard Learn, through which students can access the virtual space.

The Instructional Technology Group offers multiple training sessions every month. You can view our Workshops and Presentations page to see all of the latest dates and times.

We recommend using Google Chrome or Firefox when utilizing Blackboard Collaborate. Edge will not work if you are a presenter as it does not give a user permission to use their microphone or camera.
