Live eLearning and Collaboration Environment Connects Instructors, Students, Administrators, and Researchers

Ft. Lauderdale, Florida., (January 30, 2006) — Elluminate, Inc., a leading provider of live eLearning and web collaboration solutions for the real-time organization, announced today that Northern Arizona University (NAU) has implemented Elluminate Live! Academic Edition™. The university is using Elluminate Live! to enable synchronous interaction for online courses, instructor virtual office hours, real-time collaboration for researchers, and statewide administrative meetings.

After an extensive, hands-on testing period, NAU selected Elluminate Live! for its ease of use, low-bandwidth connectivity, multi-platform support, robust VoIP, WebCT Vista integration, and ADA compliance. Today, the university uses Elluminate Live! in a wide variety of departments and disciplines for teaching, learning, meeting, and collaboration. Future plans for the live eLearning environment include identifying faculty at the university's six colleges to act as mentors to promote adoption, providing a stipend to facilitate the development of best practices, and creating a WebCT Vista shell for every course with Elluminate Live! as one of the available tools.

"While technology like interactive TV and content management systems enhance distance learning, people still want human interaction," said Don Carter, director of the E-Learning Center at NAU. "We recognized that the time was right to bring in technology that would allow faculty to control their interactions with each other and with students. Elluminate Live! enables us to offer a broader solution that can support all campus activities, not just online courses."

"Elluminate is very pleased to add NAU to its impressive roster of academic clients at all educational levels," Maurice Heiblum, president of Elluminate USA, Inc. "Elluminate Live! enables NAU and other institutions to mirror and enhance the interactivity of a traditional classroom as well as to provide comprehensive, reliable support for many other educational and collaborative activities, connecting participants across campus, throughout the nation, and around the globe."
