Hi Chris,
We bought a campus licence for Wimba and have found it to be a great tool for staff - easy to use (with some support). I also liked the fact that we could create our own design scheme and we were able to customise the CSS to make it a little more in line with our college logo/colours etc.
When we first bought the licence, I ran some training sessions with staff and created video tutorials and now many of our lecturing staff are using wimba to create online content.
Hope this helps,
Sarah

Greetings All
Here at Canterbury Christ Church we are looking at using either Wimba or
Elluminate and I was wondering what experience anybody has had of either
product?
What are the plus and minus points?
How easy staff and students found them to use?
And the levels of support offered by both companies to both students and
staff.
Thanks in advance for any replies
Chris
