Faculty often use Blackboard Collaborate to allow student to present papers or projects to the rest of the class virtually. In order for the student to be able to upload a PowerPoint or OpenOffice presentation they will need moderator privileges.
There are two ways to give moderator privileges to participants:
Live Bb Collaborate session
Locate the student requiring moderator privileges in the participant list. Hover the mouse pointer over their name until the edit button (looks like several small horizontal lines) appears and click on it.
In the resulting menu Select Give Moderator Privileges.
The student will then be able to upload their presentation. For instructions how, visit Upload Presentation.
When scheduling the session in Blackboard
You can designate one or more students to automatically be moderators when they join the session. For detailed instructions view Scheduling a Session in Blackboard
In the scheduling tool, on the Participation tab, locate Available Participants.
- Click on a student to select them.
- Click on the arrow to ‘move’ that student into the Moderators areas. Click Submit to save changes. And when that student joins the session they will automatically have moderator privileges.
