On the surface both are similar products that run through a web browser.  With a headset microphone one person can talk to the entire class.  The interface allows sharing of presentations (PowerPoint, pictures, Flash, movies) in addition to applications.  As the presenter, I can run Excel on my machine and share the application with the class.  Everyone can then see my desktop.  I can even pass control of the application to someone in the class.<\/p>\n<p>Wimba has one feature that I liked.  In the session, there is a phone icon.  If someone has a problem with an Internet connection, he\/she can dial a phone number, type in a passcode and be right back in the discussion via the phone.<\/p>\n<p>I haven&#8217;t had experience running a session with Wimba.  That will happen today.  I&#8217;ll give you a report once I&#8217;ve taken it around the block a few times.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I started a new pilot today.
