Live eLearning Environment Also Facilitates Cross-Cultural Communication and Development of Peer-Based Support Structure

Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, (November 20, 2006) — Elluminate, Inc., a leading provider of live eLearning and web collaboration solutions for the real-time organization, announced today that Prince Albert Grand Council (PAGC) Education Services has implemented Elluminate Live!® Academic Edition™, adding daily synchronous interaction to its online learning initiative, Credenda Virtual High School (CVHS). In addition, PAGC uses Elluminate Live! for instructor virtual office hours, remote IT support, weekly staff meetings and ongoing professional development. The organization is also exploring ways to expand the use of Elluminate Live! into other key areas, such as enabling nurses in remote health clinics to access doctors and medical services not locally available.

According to Vince Hill, PAGC's associate director of education, CVHS was created to provide access to the wide range of courses students in remote areas need for university admission. At the same time, Hill realized that synchronous technology had to be a key component of the online delivery system. "My research showed that what made eLearning successful was being able to establish relationships with students similar to those in a face-to-face classroom," said Hill. "After looking at a number of solutions, our unanimous conclusion was that Elluminate Live! was by far the best product. It's stable and robust, enabling us to deliver resources effectively to remote areas with dial-up connectivity."

"While First Nation schools tend to work more in isolation, we have pooled our Elluminate Live! licenses with those of Prairie Spirit School Division to provide access to its accredited teachers," added Hill. "Elluminate Live! also enables students to connect with their peers in other communities, crossing cultural boundaries between language groups and allowing students to see a bigger world. Our hope is that when students leave our communities they will already have an established support structure to help them succeed in the post-secondary environment."

"We are pleased that the Prince Albert Grand Council has implemented live eLearning as a daily activity for its students," said Nashir Samanani, CEO of Elluminate, Inc. "Elluminate Live! is designed to provide access to high-quality learning for those students who would otherwise be deprived. We applaud the efforts of PAGC to promote excellence in education for First Nation students."
