Fact #14 learned at Wimba Connect 2008

In the Fall 2007 semester alone, Kansas State University faculty combined to hold 696 live classes and created 759 archives via Wimba Classroom. Amazingly, all of this was supported by only one full-time technology staff member and three students.
Wimba Connect 2008 was an exciting and engaging experience! This was a highly-focused event where practitioners learned about innovative and meaningful ways in which myriad colleagues use (and plan to expand and extend the use of) the Wimba Suite of tools. Doubtless this inaugural event was the first of many for Wimba and its leading-edge user community - and we certainly look forward to Wimba Connect 2009!
