Elluminate Live!
Interested in voice or audio conferencing? eLIS is piloting Elluminate web conferencing software with a small group of faculty and students during the spring 2009 semester to evaluate the effectiveness of the technology and support requirements for further implementation at the University. If you have tinkered with web conferencing, skype, or other audio and conference call software for teaching and learning, the Elluminate pilot may be for you. Please contact Rebecca Petersen or Kris McElroy to further explore the pilot requirements.
