Horizon/Wimba

Phys 632 will not use Horizon Wimba.

Introduction

In order to participate in the audio chat room, you will need:

• a computer
• a headset with a microphone
• an internet connection (e.g., dialup modem, DSL, cable mode

Preparing for the session

It is essential that you run the Horizon Wimba Wizard at a least a day in advance of our meeting time. The Wizard ensures that your computer is technically prepared to use Live Classroom. It guides you through a series of tests and downloads corresponding with different technical requirements. You will only need to run the Wizard once. It will take ten to fifteen minutes.

You can access the Wizard here: http://liveclassroom.horizonwimba.com/wizard/launcher.cgi

You should also review the participant overview, which can be found at: http://horizonwimba.com/tools/4_0_interface.html
