I'm shocked that this one is being asked to be reviewed, as I know that Blackboard purchased it...anyhoo! I like that if offered student collaboration and a workplace to meet if in an online course! But now isn't it Blackboard Collaborate?
The sound quality was not the best, and it looked really 1990s looking. The user interface wasn't very appealing to me.
Again, I was shocked that Wimba Create was being reviewed as I thought it was not called Blackboard Collaborate, but when I did use it was easy to use, and I enjoyed it for what it was. I didn't like the look, and it was hard to follow the chat, and to really know who had their hand raised. However, now that I have been using Blackboard Collaborate, these issues have seemed to worked themselves out.
Our issues has been solved since it has evolved into Blackboard Collaborate!
I like that one can work with the papers online and not have to download them. There is a few items that are useful in this grading process.
I need help every year setting it up for my class, b/c it's not intuitive. A few of the grading tools are rather cumbersome and I've found other apps that work much better instead.
Not much. My business is working with college students to change the world. I need to connect to them on many different levels, but this program doesn't really aid me in my job. Perhaps with time it will.
