Use the following link to access a Blackboard Collaborate Testing Room (Note: This room is not monitored and should only be used for practice): http://bit.ly/GLSELATesting. o Access this room several days prior to beginning the Academy to ensure you can successfully launch a Blackboard Collaborate session. o This IS NOT the link you will use to access your Sports Law courses.

Each course has its own unique Blackboard Collaborate room. Therefore, you will need to enter the room specific to the course being taught. o Example: if you are currently in the Representing the Professional Athlete Collaborate room and the next course is Negotiation Strategies, you need to close the current Blackboard Collaborate session, go to Blackboard, enter the Negotiation Strategies course and launch a new Blackboard Collaborate session for that course. Since no course content will be delivered in Blackboard Collaborate, it is recommended that you detach the Audio/Video and resize it to better view the video broadcast.
