Communicate Spontaneously
Horizon Wimba has released Pronto, a free instant messaging and voice chat tool that allows students and instructors to spontaneously meet live online at any time to discuss their coursework. Features include instant messaging, voice over IP audio, and group IM and VoIP. The software integrates with Blackboard or WebCT so contact lists automatically populate according to class rosters, and teachers and T.A.s display differently for ease of identification. The software is currently available for prerelease clients and will be available to all education institutions for free in fall 2006. Schools interested in reserving their campuswide license can sign up at www.horizonwimba.com/products/pronto.
