Wimba is a tool used in conjunction with programs such as Blackboard. It has been dubbed the virtual classroom, but it's possibilities seem to suggest it is more than that. Users sign in and are able to communicate through a mic, typed test, as well as an area where a powerpoint presentation can be displayed. Users are also able to post pictures and use a tool in which they can draw on the screen.
You have the ability to record a session on Wimba (voice,text,powerpoint, etc) which might be a good way to archive YART meetings to look back at or to share with those who could not make it to the meetings.
If that sounds interesting to you you should check out the link below for more information . It goes into greater detail.
