Quotes for Attribution:
"The addition of Elluminate Plan! provides a steroid-like enhancement to an already powerful Internet presentation delivery system. You now have the ability to make your presentations flow seamlessly from one intersection to the next. It preordains the order of appearance for a vast array of presentation elements, from whiteboard slides to multi-media, polling, application sharing, web surfing, and more, all like well-orchestrated ducks in a row, waiting to leap through a variety of hoops on command. It also serves to create a sure-fire performance template that will allow neophytes to present boldly and confidently within the Elluminate environment."
- Randal Cummings, Director of Online Instruction, California State University, Northridge

Multitasking is not easy, so Elluminate Plan! will free me to make the overall learning experience smoother and even more valuable."
