Accessing Wimba Archives for HIST 104

First, go to the login page for Wimba, here –

http://208.185.34.137/

There, see Setup Wizard on the right? Run this. It will check to see if you have any web security settings that might interfere with running the archived presentations; you might have to turn off a popup blocker. It also will try to check for sound settings, input and output. Output is all that matters for an archived presentation, of course.

Next, log in as Participant.

Room ID = NDSU_History_Room

For Name, just use your own name.

Once logged into the Wimba classroom, select the Archives tab.

In the archives, see three archived presentations for the History room. Click on one, and it should open. You can minimize my talking head, and you’ll have full view of the outline slides.

Any problems - ITS Help Desk should provide support for accessing Wimba, which is a supported program. If you consult with them, direct them to these instructions.
