What is a Vital TeachShare?

A TeachShare is a short online session (up to an hour) using Blackboard Collaborate videoconferencing software, in which the TeachShare host leads an online discussion on a specific topic. The sessions are free to join, and no advance booking is required, you can just turn up and join in!

What equipment do I need to join a TeachShare?

All you need in terms of equipment is a computer connected to the internet, and a set of headphones (you can check that your computer meets the miminum system requirements here). A microphone is useful if you want to join the discussion, although not essential; if you do not have a microphone you can join in using text chat. No prior experience of using Blackboard Collaborate is required, although if you are a new user, we recommend you join the session 5-10 minutes early to run through the setup.
