Bring Greater Teaching Opportunities
to Your Classroom

Wimba offers the most comprehensive suite of collaboration products created exclusively for educational purposes. The Wimba Collaboration Suite™ empowers educators with a unique collaborative approach that enhances learning, improves academic performance and administrative proficiencies, and increases student retention. The Internet provides new ways to facilitate student involvement by connecting teachers and students in a highly interactive way. Real time communication around rich content, visualization using video, presence, emoticons and avatars, and participation through voice in an otherwise text-based course, compels active involvement to facilitate the learning process. The Wimba Collaboration Suite offers you a collaborative learning environment that provides flexible professional development options, expands learning opportunities, strengthens learning communities, and addresses diverse learning styles. Wimba enables greater teaching opportunities in the classroom by allowing teachers and students to express their most important asset - themselves.

Wimba Classroom™
Allows educators and students to build relationships by combining interactive technologies with instructional best practices.

• Wimba Classroom focuses attention on the content and speaker by bringing the elements of communication online through follow-the-speaker video, emoticons, and discussion-center Voice-over IP.
• By bringing a wide variety of content into the classroom using application sharing or the whiteboard, teachers can enrich and enhance learning objectives.
• Wimba Classroom provides a flexible venue for teachers to meet, learn and collaborate online.

Wimba Pronto™
Expands pedagogical capabilities by providing a venue for student-to-student learning.

• Student collaboration often reinforces traditional classroom learning. Wimba Pronto allows students to see who is online from their classes, clubs, and study groups and instantly collaborate through chat or voice.
• Developing and cultivating connections that drive the learning process, Wimba Pronto accelerates these relationships by putting the students' academic contacts at their fingertips.
• Wimba Pronto enables online tutoring so that students have access to help in more ways and at more times. Tutoring can be planned or it can occur spontaneously.

Wimba Voice™
Contributes to greater clarity and understanding by providing the important elements of face-to-face communication (including the nuances of voice) that are missing from text-based discussions. Voice discussions, announcements and podcasts promote active participation in the classroom.

• Wimba Voice helps teachers speak to students with varied learning styles or visual and print disabilities.
• Participation in online discussion forums provides opportunities for active learning. By introducing a vocal element to online discussions using Wimba Voice, students become actively engaged with the course content, and through conversation with their peers, negotiate the meanings of the content.
• Wimba Voice offers teachers a broader spectrum of methods for teaching online.
• Wimba Voice enhances language instruction in the online learning environment by allowing instructors to easily post customized audio clips and for students to post practice recordings.

Wimba Create™
Simplifies the production of interactive, reusable learning content. Wimba Create produces content that is compatible with, but not permanently locked into a virtual learning environment.

• Wimba Create allows teachers to easily produce content that can be used across multiple online learning environments (formats easily convert for platform compatibility).
• Wimba Create is easy to use to encourage faculty adoption of any virtual learning environment.
• Wimba Create enables content authoring compliant with SENDA, W3C, WAI and Section 508, and includes an accessibility checker, allowing course designers and teachers to check their content before generating the final content package.
