Friday@Noon: What's New in Wimba Classroom 6.0?

Friday, October 2, 2009
Noon - 1pm
COPH G230

Presented by Keith Freeman, Office of Educational Development

Many instructors consider live, personal interaction to be the most valuable element of teaching and learning. Wimba Classroom allows educators and students to build relationships by combining interactive technologies with instructional best practices.

Educators and students can engage in verbal and nonverbal communication to increase psychological closeness among learners. Designed exclusively for education, Wimba Classroom focuses attention on the content and speaker, not on the technology.

This session will cover:
--Do More with your MP4 – Easily create and distribute MP4 files to an iPhone, Blackboard, YouTube or even Facebook so students can access content anytime, anyplace.
--Lecture Capture – Capturing classroom activity and making it available for review and reuse strengthens student comprehension. Record the audio, video, chat, whiteboard or simply capture the traditional offline lecture environment.
