Description:

Since launching in fall 2015, Blue Jeans, a new high-resolution, cloud-based video conferencing service, has been connecting faculty, students, and staff across campus and around the world. Whether you need to hold an online synchronous session for your course, make an impromptu call to a colleague, or give a video presentation to 100 viewers, Blue Jeans is a great option.

The seamless integration of Blue Jeans into Canvas provides greater opportunities for classroom collaboration. Guest lecturers can now be brought in, by telephone or video, right from within the Canvas course site. Student study groups can meet over Blue Jeans, allowing added flexibility when trying to coordinate schedules. Additionally, instructors can offer virtual office hours to students when both parties may not be on campus.

Join this workshop to learn:

• Blue Jeans basics, including how to sign up for an account and start a meeting
• Best practices for using Blue Jeans
• How to use Blue Jeans in Canvas
