Re: Language Labs

WE use the voice tools from Wimba which are supported by moodle. In moodle=
, teachers can record their voice, produce podcasts, setup voice bulletin b=
oards, send voice e-mails & chats. It's a great solution, but expensive.

Does anyone know if there is a voice-enabled forum module for Moodle? Or Ja=
son, could your development work go in that direction? Is voice data transf=
er too bandwidth-intensive for typical Moodle servers? Wimba's forum works =
pretty well, though a java exception did crash my browser when exiting. It =
would be great to have this same type capability within a Moodle module. Ka=

th Moodle, and what you mean by "it's not the perfect solution."
Thanks,
