It has served us well, but as a java-based tool it required users to install multiple softwares on their computer often making it difficult to simply access an online meeting. Many faculty and students also found the interface overwhelming and clunky. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Collaborate Ultra has many advantages. First of all, it\u2019s web-based. There is nothing to install on your computer prior to using Collaborate Ultra. Simply click on the link to the online meeting and join. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Secondly, it has a streamlined, easier to use interface. Faculty who have used it to meet with their students have found it much easier to use with a more familiar interface making it faster find the tools they need. We\u2019ve been using it here in eLIS for two years and have been able to meet with many faculty, staff and students online while providing minimal to no prior training. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Finally, Collaborate Ultra is also integrated directly into myLesley. You can <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/support.lesley.edu\/support\/solutions\/folders\/4000019138\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">start using it right now<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Check it Out!<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Take a look at the new look and feel in this video tour. <\/span><br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/KNCI7e0cAF8\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you have questions or need assistance switching to Collaborate Ultra, contact us at <\/span><a href=\"mailto:elis@lesley.edu\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">elis@lesley.edu<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Still using Collaborate Original as your myLesley web conferencing tool?
