Quick Save items from your Bb Collaborate Web Session

This is a quick tip on how to use Collaborate’s built in features for a “quick save” so you can review your attendance, chat log, and whiteboard slides at a later time.

Blackboard Collaborate is a robust tool for meeting with your class live and online. With so many features running at once, it can be hard to gauge participation from your students in this arena. This is a quick tip on how to use Collaborate’s built in features for a “quick save” so you can review your attendance, chat log, and whiteboard slides at a later time. Use your time in-session to focus on your discussions and your content.

To perform a “quick save” within Collaborate, go to: File > Save

Choose from: Chat, Participant list or Whiteboard file. All of these options allow you to save the items to your computer.

Chat and Participant Lists will save as “.txt” files.

Please note that the Participant List option will save the current active participant list. You may want to perform this in the middle of your session, at peak attendance, if you are using for a roster or attendance grading.

Options for saving whiteboard files are “.pdf”, “.png”, and Collaborate’s Native “.wbd” files (able to re-imported into a later session).
