The Virtual Classroom: Wimba in Blackboard

Date/Time: 
February 2, 2012 - 1:00pm
Where: 
North Campus, D225 (Studio)

Wimba is collaborative learning software that allows instructors to connect with students within a virtual learning environment.

Within a Wimba room, faculty can lead their classes through online discussions, while integrating video, audio, and chat functions, PowerPoint slideshows and desktop sharing capabilities. The Wimba classroom can be directly setup and accessed within the Blackboard framework and is a great tool for faculty to enhance their online and hybrid courses. This tool can also help enhance face-to-face classes when used for afterclass support while both the instructor and students are off-campus or by virtually bringing in guest speakers – without the travel costs! In addition, Wimba can be used outside of the Blackboard environment. Faculty, staff and administration can hold online video and audio supported meetings with multiple participants, from anywhere in the world, within a virtual meeting room. The virtual classroom/meeting room is here and is freely available to all. Attend our workshop and find out how Wimba can help you.
