Wimba Overview

Wimba Voice Tools is a suite of tools that allow for asynchronous and synchronous voice interactions between students and teachers. It includes tools like Voice Board for asynchronous discussions, Voice Direct for live discussions, Voice Presenter for virtual tours, and Voice Recorder for recording and sharing audio files. Voice Tools provides more opportunities for students to practice speaking in the target language both inside and outside of class, and allows some students who are shy to speak more comfortably than just speaking in front of the class. The presentation concluded with a demo of the Voice Tools.
