The Office of Lifelong Learning has purchased Wimba Classroom for use in Distance Education courses. Wimba is a synchronous tool that allows for live/real time course interactions. This tool is currently integrated into Blackboard, allowing students and faculty to communicate and collaborate through a single interface.
If you have interest in using Wimba for your DE courses this fall, there are two requirements. First, you should speak to an instructional designer to discuss your needs and ideas for using this tool. Second, you must attend a workshop on Wimba to learn about the tool and suggested instructional uses. Once you have discussed possible uses and attended one workshop, the tool will be enabled in your DE course.
