It's going to be very interesting, considering my computer died on the last day of Spring classes, and my department has no money to purchase another one until Fall semester.

I'll be using my home computer, I suppose.

Quite frankly, I'm a little worried about my own learning curve. In the past, the instructions just don't give enough "have this ready before you start", which usually means I have to restart at least 1 time.
Bernoulli I participated in one Wimba activity. I had to scrounge around to find a microphone but never ended up using it. I believe it even ran a test to make sure my computer was equipped properly before I could join in. Anyway, It seemed to go OK, but I don't have anything to offer on how to set it up or use it.

have used it for a couple of years We do short mini-lectures and announcements and even voice discussion forums wtih wimba. I've done a few synchronous meetings with students and one of my online schools uses wimba for a lot of professional development workshops. Ours is part of Blackboard so I don't know how it works outside of Bb.

marjoryt My version is also in Bb, and after reading a very broad overview, I plugged in my headphone/microphone and started recording. It worked.

I decided to do several very short bites to intersperse between my lectures and activities.

I sound like Paula Deen's Missisisppi cousin.
