Wimba Customer Spotlight : University of Georgia

University of Georgia Bridges Languages and Cultures for the U.S.-Brazil Consortium on Technology Integration

Ranked in the top 20 among public universities in the United States by U.S. News and World Report, the University of Georgia (UGA) is on the move. UGA is "building the New Learning Environment," an academic and intellectual community which recognizes that the digital age is transforming traditional academic disciplines. During this video, faculty and students discuss how Wimba's collaborative learning environment helps UGA enrich the learning experience for students, increase access to rural communities and assist faculty development.

"There's virtually no difference between my online classes that are done in Wimba versus the classes I teach face-to-face."
-Michael Orey, Associate Professor, University of Georgia

"I have the most success with Wimba because it helps me to make those connections with my students, and not only the connections that I make with my students, but the connections the students have with each other."
-Michael Orey, Associate Professor, University of Georgia

Public university doesn't mean substandard in the quality of learning and teaching. With this video i conclude that UG is meeting the global standard of education.
