Wimba Classroom

Wimba Classroom
Wimba Classroom offers a virtual classroom environment, including audio, video, application sharing, content display and archiving facilities.

By the end of the session participants will know about:

• Understand the basic functionality offered by Classroom (hand-raise, emoticons, chat)
• Have experienced time as both a participant and a tutor in the Classroom
• Uploaded a PowerPoint presentation to the eBoard, experienced ‘app-sharing’
• Tweaking ‘settings’, including providing a URL to allow external participants to enter the conversation
• Archiving a session, and accessing that archive

This session will also provide space for a discussion of classroom etiquette, and potential uses for the software for both academic and professional services staff within the University of Winchester.

Participants are requested to possess a USB audio-microphone headset, available from the Media Counter. As a tutor, you are likely to want to purchase a webcam, also available from the media counter.
