To create a highly interactive teaching environment online, we combine the best practices of teaching in the traditional face-to-face classroom with our collaborative education technologies. With a robust set of features and functions including voice, streaming video, text chat, podcasting, application-sharing, electronic whiteboards and quizzing, you can easily use Wimba’s collaborative technologies online to:

Assess student progress and proficiency Ensure comprehension Adapt your pace to students’ needs Project your personality Account for auditory, tactile and visual learning styles

Foster student-to-student collaboration Gain cutting-edge technology skills Create a sense of community Add speaking and listening exercises Track students’ attendance, participation and quiz responses

Our interactive learning solutions provide you and students with versatile means of playing active roles in your class. Also, our solutions allow you to use differentiated teaching tactics for each student’s learning needs.

Our web-based solutions make it easy for you to add the human touch to your online courses in both real-time and asynchronous modes. We make it easy for you to add rich, interactive content by using voice, thereby saving you time otherwise spent creating additional text-based content. Also, this helps students develop strong verbal communication, critical thinking and conversation skills.
