Wimba Classroom connecting Calvin College to FL, NM and CA
Monday, April 11, 2011
People all across campus continue to find new and unique ways to use Wimba Classroom in their teaching and learning. Wimba Classroom is a set of web-based collaboration tools used for:
- video conferencing
- audio-conferencing
- application sharing
- sharing an interactive whiteboard
- chatting
Calvin’s education department is using Wimba Classroom to record, critique, and remotely support student teachers in southern California and New Mexico, as well as in a variety of locations in the Grand Rapids area.
Philosophy Professor Steve Wykstra and Nellie Kooistra, Department Assistant for the Nagel Institute, recently used Wimba Classroom to record 9-hours worth of lectures given in Florida. They exported the recordings (using MP4-based files) onto DVDs to give to their 20+ attendees from all across the United States.
