Was this your first experience with live webcasting software? This was not my first time using the Blackboard Collaborate, I had a group presentation for an English class last semester. However I wish I had saw this presentation explaining everything before, because I did not know how everything worked and it was difficult to use.
Have any of your other instructors used live webcasting? The only one that has used it was the English Professor I mentioned and it was used for a group project and I hated the project because no one in my group had ever used it and it was difficult for us to navigate.
What did you like about Blackboard Collaborate Classroom? I think once everything was explained it would be good to use when working with someone on a project or use as a webcast. I liked the timer so you knew how long you had spoken, I think that would be helpful. I liked that you could type in websites and show the people in the room. There were very many different tools I did not know about.
What did you dislike about Blackboard Collaborate Classroom? When I used it before I did not like using it for a presentation but I think that is because no one explained how it worked. It really is a neat tool that can be utilized.
How can you use live webcasting software in a library? It would be good for a library to use if they wanted to teach people how to use online tools such as how to use their online catalog or even have meetings with their employees to teach them something online.
