All California and Hawaii community college educators can use Blackboard collaborate free.  MPICT is encouraging its use to expand the breadth,  depth and reach of ICT education - and to improve ICT education outcomes, for students, faculty, departments and institutions.  With Blackboard collaborate, you can "blow the walls off of your classroom," making more courses run by adding remote students, and having more students complete the courses successfully, because their diverse needs are better met.  MPICT can help you learn how.
