Wimba Pronto

What is Wimba Pronto?
Have you ever used Skype or MSN? Wimba Pronto is an instant messaging system aimed at educational institutions, non-archival. It is installed on all PCs on the King Alfred campus (please contact ITS if your PC doesn’t appear to have it installed).

What will I learn in this session?
The more people who are using this software, the more functional it becomes. By the end of the session participants will know about:·

• How to create a Pronto account
• How to install Pronto at home
• Password Recovery
• Customisation (e.g. appearance, status update)
• Etiquette for Wimba Pronto
• Holding an ‘office hour’

Who is this session for?
This interactive session, aimed at all staff within the university, will focus on both the practical requirements of Pronto, but also offer opportunities to discuss innovative and appropriate situations for use.

What equipment do I need?
Participants are requested to possess a USB audio-microphone headset, available from the Media Counter. A webcam will enhance future conversations.
