Elluminate

Yesterday a representative from Elluminate demonstrated their product to the DoIT. He described it as a “pumped-up” version of skype. It is like Webinar software but created specifically for the field of Education. It “Add[s] real-time interaction to distance learning. Extend[s] the boundaries of the traditional classroom. Engage[s] more students in more ways.” It seems like a great alternative to webinars for professional development. We’ll be taking a closer look at it to see how robust and useful it is.
