Wimba's K-12 Education Technology Solutions

Wimba provides education technology solutions that help people teach people. We enable school districts, virtual high schools, state departments of education and state education agencies to effectively deliver online learning. Wimba technology provides the platform for teachers and students to collaborate with each other in an interactive online learning environment – the Wimba Collaboration Suite™. Teachers, principals and administrators rely on our academic technologies daily to:

• Provide students equal access to education
• Strengthen teacher quality through ongoing professional development
• Engage parents and build community

Public education has entered an era of increased accountability and constricted resources. Online and blended education has emerged as an integral means of overcoming barriers and offsetting shortages to achieve academic and administrative outcomes.

At Wimba, we believe that successful online and blended education starts with talented teachers. It’s imperative that online courses bring out the voice of teachers to create the powerful learning experience of the traditional face-to-face classroom. As such, Wimba’s solutions provide highly interactive online environments essential for teacher-student collaboration. Aided by a customer advisory board, our web-based solutions are designed to be easy to access and easy to use so teachers can focus on teaching naturally anytime, anywhere.
