ETSU Wimba Widget
I am sorry it has taken awhile to get this up here. This widget is basically a link to a separate web page saved in the "Manage Shared Files" directory on D2L. The file provides instructions and links to utilize Wimba. We have it set to only allow instructors to view the widget. Thanks to Dr. Gary Walters for coming up with this workaround. Here is the code for the widget and the separate page:

<P align=left><FONT size=4>Currently the Wimba Voice Tools are not contained
within Desire2Learn as they were with Blackboard and WebCT. Therefore in
order to access the tools you must go directly to the ETSU Wimba server. To
Login to the ETSU Wimba server, <A href="http://etsu.horizonwimba.com/etsu/"
target=_blank>click here</A>. If you do not have a Login account, <A
href="mailto:d2lhelp@etsu.edu?subject=Wimba Account">send an email request</A>.
</FONT></P>
<P align=left><FONT size=4>You may Study the Wimba help manual by clicking on
Help after you Login, or you may link directly to the Help pages by going
directly to <A
href="http://etsu.horizonwimba.com/etsu/doc/WVTM5_Intro_Wimba_Voice_Tools.htm">http://etsu.horizonwimba.com/etsu/doc/WVTM5_Intro_Wimba_Voice_Tools.htm</A>
without Logging in to Wimba.</FONT></P>
<P align=left><FONT size=4>When you load this page, click on the "Show" link at
the top left side of the page to obtain access to all Help features.</FONT></P>
<P align=left><FONT size=4>Using Wimba Voice boards, Chat, etc, you can either
link from D2L to the Wimba Boards you create or you can embed them into a D2L
page. For the D2L/Wimba beginner it is probably easier to link to the Boards on
Wimba. When you create the Boards, <U>make sure you follow the directions on how
to make them available without your students having to Login to
Wimba.</U></FONT></P></BODY></HTML>
