The content below is a slightly contextualised version of an excellent blog post by Lloyd Stock which on the Blackboard Community site. Since that site in not publicly accessible this very useful content is copied and slightly edited for context below. As we develop further experience at UoS we will provide relevant local examples of good practice.

This post provides best practice advice as it pertains to webinars. All the suggestions should be weighed based on the discrete nuances of your objectives for each and every webinar.
This post focuses on best practice with a view to ensuring your webinars are engaging. It therefore mainly focuses on the âopportunityâ provided with Blackboard Collaborate. It is not designed to cover areas of âriskâ or bad practice, which are generally applicable to all use cases including webcasts, tutorials, office hours etc. As such the following are not dealt with in here or not in any detail:
- The learning that takes place before and after the webinar
- Technology problems and service outages
- Contingency planning for presenters who cannot attend for personal reasons
- Classroom management challenges
- Content Best Practices
