Wimba Voice and Vista

Perfect for language learning and creating vocal exercises in any subject, our web-based voice tools facilitate and promote vocal instruction, collaboration, coaching, and assessment. Increase the interaction and student engagement level of any online class by allowing faculty and students to easily embed vocal interactions into the Blackboard Vista environment.

The Wimba PowerLink enables Blackboard users to seamlessly add Wimba's Voice Tools software to their online courses.

The information on this page and more can be found at the Wimba website.
