Linking to an Existing Voice Tool (Topic or Weekly Format)

Once you have created your first Voice Tool Activity Module (which requires that you build your first Voice Tool), you can now link to this tool, or any subsequently built Voice Tools.

Note: If you reached this Adding a new Wimba Voice Tool screen following the creation of a new Voice Tool, proceed to Step 6.

1. Log-in to Moodle as a Teacher or Administrator

2. Select a Course to modify from the list of available courses

3. Click the Turn editing on button

4. Click the Add an activity drop-down menu

5. Select Wimba Voice Tool

6. Enter a title for the tool link in the Name field

7. Select the appropriate area where you wish the link to appear in the Week (or Topic) for this activity field

8. Choose the tool to which you wish to link within the Associated Voice Tools drop-down menu (listed by tool)

Note: If you just created a new Voice Tool, this menu will be pre-populated with that tool and need not be modified.

9. Select Show or Hide from the Visible to student's drop-down menu to set room availability

10. If you wish to link to this tool from your course calendar, leave the Add a calendar event box checked (or uncheck this box, if you do not want to create a calendar entry).

Enter the relevant time, date, and Duration (Description is optional).

11. Click the Create button. The Voice Tool will launch in a pop-up window (which you may close). A permanent link will appear within the appropriate Topic or Week.

You may navigate to your Course homepage, or the List of Voice Tools, using the breadcrumb bar in the upper left-hand corner of the screen.
