Schools that recently adopted Wimba Live Classroom include Alabama State University, the University of Mississippi, Ireland’s Dublin Institute of Technology and the UK’s University of Sheffield.
Many instructors consider personal interaction to be the most valuable element of teaching and learning. Live Classroom allows faculty and students to build relationships by combining new interactive technologies with traditional best practices of instruction. Faculty and students can listen and talk to each other, express emotion, and be part of a learning community.
Live Classroom also allows institutions to ensure online students’ comprehension by providing them with immediate feedback, answers to questions, and even in-depth explanations of complex class material.
In addition, students with different learning styles, such as auditory and visual learners, can better meet their educational objectives, while hearing and visually impaired students can be served better through a number of features designed to support these learning styles.
