This document outlines four collaborative learning techniques using Blackboard: 1) Reading response blogs for groups where students are assigned to groups and take turns blogging about assigned readings and responding to each other's posts, 2) Issue debates where students schedule in-class debates and use blogs to prepare and discuss, 3) Test debriefing discussion boards where students discuss test questions after a test to learn from each other, and 4) Expert forums where designated student experts create a wiki to post audio and written responses to questions from other students on a topic.
