Module Development
This module about Wimba Create was created with Wimba Create.
We used the Wimba Create logo at the top. All other images are from Microsoft Office Online Clip Art.
The original module was initially created for use with ADAPT (anyday-anyplace teaching), a faculty learning community in which participants spent a year learning how to develop and implement digital learning objects. This program was funded by Innovations in Education from the Office of Health Affairs, University of Texas System., 2008-2011, and implemented at the University of Texas Medical Branch (UTMB).
The module has now been adapted to share with others interested in learning Wimba Create.
