Collaboration & Conferencing

Wimba is an education technology company that helps people teach people.

Much e-learning technology offered to educational institutions is unnecessarily specialised and specific to an individual task or activity. With multiple solutions and multiple vendors, what is needed is a single end-to-end integrated solution that meets all e-learning needs. The Wimba Collaboration Suite offers just this. The Suite consists of a set of tools that together provide a complete system for course authoring, synchronous and asynchronous video and audio/VoIP communication, real-time online classrooms, instant messaging, content delivery and assessment. This enables an integrated and iterative process of e-learning development:

• The creation of engaging online content and learning objects (Wimba Create)
  
• Adding voice and audio-based content (Wimba Voice)
  
• Opportunities for live collaboration with and between learners (Wimba Classroom & Wimba Pronto)
  
• Opportunities for social networking and the development of learning communities and networks (Wimba Classroom, Wimba Voice & Wimba Pronto)
  

A Learning Management System or Virtual Learning Environment (LMS/VLE) can be a valuable tool in the armoury of e-learning, but in itself, it may not allow for the degree of collaborative work and social networking that might be desirable. The Wimba Collaboration Suite will integrate directly with many LMSs and therefore enhance and add value to them. It will also work very effectively as a stand-alone tool for enabling e-learning.

Wimba offers the most comprehensive suite of collaborative products created exclusively for educational. The Wimba Collaboration Suite equips educators and publishers with a unique collaborative approach that enhances learning, improves outcomes, and increases student retention.
