Collaborate Ultra Guide for Students

This guide will help students get started with using Collaborate Ultra for online classes.

Use Chrome Browser

Blackboard Collaborate Ultra is a collaboration tool that may be used by your instructor with Blackboard and only requires Google Chrome. 

If you do not have Google Chrome, you can click "Install Google Chrome".

When you open your Collaborate session, you will be prompted to add an extension to Chrome. (IMPORTANT NOTE: MAKE SURE POP-UPS ARE ENABLED FOR THIS EXTENSION TO POP-UP OR YOU MAY NOT BE ABLE TO JOIN.  See our FAQ: How do I enable pop-ups?)

IMPORTANT NOTE:  Make sure that you have updated to the latest version of Google Chrome and you are ready to use. Click "How do I update Google Chrome?" for a video to assist you in doing this.
