Wimba Classroom is taking off at Calvin!

Thursday, September 24, 2009

CIT’s Teaching & Learning Team is pleased to report we’ve had thirty-eight faculty and staff members trained on how to use the Wimba Classroom set of tools. Many of these same faculty members have decided to move forward with this set of tools, which include web-based videoconferencing, audio-conferencing, an interactive whiteboard, chatting features, application sharing and more.

Here are a couple of faculty who are currently integrating Wimba Classroom for various applications:

• Steve Wykstra (Philosophy) is using Wimba Classroom to record his lectures in real-time. Students who were missing—or even students who were in class—can access archived recordings of his classes to review and reflect upon what was covered.

• Susan Felch is using Wimba Classroom to interacting with thirty-eight different Lilly Graduate Fellows from various colleges and universities throughout the nation.

• Shirley Roels, Yvonne Ferwerda, and Steve Kline have hosted several webinars (spread throughout various locations) for the Van Lunen Fellows.
