Webinar courses

July 28, 2016

Moodle™ rooms ’ dedicated webinars are designed to provide your organization with guided tours through the Moodle™ rooms platform to review the available toolset or topic at hand. They provide your participants with synchronous access to a knowledgeable facilitator throughout the session. Our webinars are much more than presentations from afar. They involve active experimentation by participants, who will be asked to perform hands-on activities, take control of the mouse on the facilitator’s computer, and more. As such, it is critical that participants access the webinar from their own computers so that they can interact and get the most from the session. Each dedicated webinar purchased by your organization is limited to 15 participants. Below you will find a list of our webinar courses.

If you interested in purchasing a dedicated webinar, you can pay with a credit card by going to the Blackboard Training Registration Center. Alternatively, you can purchase using a purchased order (PO) by contacting your account executive or by emailing mrlearning@blackboardopenlms.com.
