Collaborate is a live, collaborative space that provides the ability to chat, screen-share, share audio and video, poll students, collaborate using a virtual whiteboard or group participants into small 'break-out' spaces. Using the Collaborate activity
in a topic ideally consists of the following 5 stages.
To help increase the stability of the system and increase performance, the following features are temporarily disabled by the vendor:
Timer (a countdown timer)
Chat typing indicator (a visual indicator that someone is typing. Chat is otherwise functional.)
The number of videos showing at any one time in some browsers has been reduced from 4 to 2
After a Collaborate session, you can view and download an attendance report, and download the results of any polling undertaken. These reports will be available approximately 5 minutes after the last person has left the session.
You can view reports of completed sessions on the Collaborate Sessions page.
Use the Filter by drop-down menu to help you locate the completed session

Session attendance report
The Session attendance report provides an overview of when attendees joined and left the session. It also gives you an idea of how long attendees were present in the session on average.
Now that you know when students joined and left the session, you can check in with them to see if they had any technical issues or need a quick review of what was presented and discussed.
