Step 6
Open the Interviewer Crib Sheet in a new tab ready to use when you are acting as the interviewer
Step 7
It will be helpful to be able to see your partner in Blackboard Collaborate whilst you are asking or answering the questions. If you have a single screen, we suggest having these pages open in a smaller "windowed" mode in front of the Blackboard Collaborate session if possible. If you can't do this, let your partner know that you're not able to see them.
Step 8
Return to the Blackboard Collaborate Session once you have finished your preparations, or when the preparation time is up.
