Quick View
Summary: 

Wimba has recommended that we apply a maintenance patch 3.3.1 to Wimba Voice version 5.3.1 to resolve issues experienced by instructors and students when navigating the product. Wimba Voice is a web-based voice solution that facilitates and promotes vocal instruction, collaboration, coaching, and assessment. Wimba Voice is a feature integrated with Blackboard that allows synchronous participation in chat and presentation. The new patch level also provides enhanced capabilities for those with visual impairment. This upgrade will not require an outage and will be scheduled to avoid conflicts with instruction periods.
