As an Instructor, how can I best plan for students that do not register for Collaborate before the first day of class?
There is no need to worry about a student joining Collaborate after the start of class. You can let them know which group to join, and they can simply join that group to participate in group activities.
What should I do if my learners can’t join an activity and only can view the results?
If learners can only view the results of an activity and not join the activity, look to see if the Collaborate Producer has a “restart forum” icon on the activity. This will reopen access to the activity and will not erase any items already on the activity.
How can I import items into SAFe virtual activities?
The Collaborate Producer can import items into a SAFe virtual activity, like the PI Planning simulation.
Why is a lesson not showing in the virtual classroom?
Some lessons, such as Lesson 1 or the last lesson of a course, do not have activities that use Collaborate. Thus those lessons do not appear in Collaborate.
