Existing Schemes

There are available to you a range of schemes with a range of language variations when outputting/generating courses from Wimba Create in Microsoft Word. These can be altered by selecting the Add-ins menu and starting Wimba Create.

1. Once started if you select the first Wimba Create tabbed arrow and go to Settings

2. The choice of presentations is manipulated under the Schemes drop down.

Tip: When creating a new scheme you need to alter an existing one in the first instance so it can be beneficial to choose the appropriate scheme to replicate as this reduces the number of changes needed to make it.
