Elluminate is an online collaboration tool that will change the way I interact with my staff and my students. Their phrase “unified learning and collaboration” is an excellent way to consider the approach they took here. On Elluminate our staff can take our regular phone conferences up a notch and reference documents, share video and powerpoint presentations, instant message and more.
I am excited about using this as a intra-office tool. The trial is a great way for me to prepare the center for this new technology. With the Elluminate vspace trial three participants can collaborate. Of course I plan on doing the upgrade to accommodate my new digital connector class of 25, but this is a nice start. We are a 3 person staff so this was the perfect fit! There are a variety of tutorials which I have seen and I have set up our account. We start this week!
I cant wait to use the vroom with classroom and tutoring education. Tutors can schedule a vroom and meet online with students. Even at the center it will be a useful tool for teachers working with small groups like our GED class. With a vspace there is live sharing of various content such as webpages, files, hi-res video, audio via cpu or phone, recorded sessions and smaller break out rooms. Similar to the WIMBA system we use at Full Sail, I plan on using this software to synthesize the learning environment of my digital connectors program. I will also make best use of my center’s space while making the classes interactive and efficient.
