I’ve reported before on the Elluminate maths trials at the OU. She teaches on the OU MSc Programme which has 500 students actively studying on it and is probably the biggest online maths masters in the World. 21 July 2008 11:23:00 GMT http://oedb.org/blogs/ilibrarian/2008/6-free-web-conferencing-tools-librarians-will-love/ http://oedb.org/blogs/ilibrarian/2008/6-free-web-conferencing-tools-librarians-will-love/ Web conferencing applications which enable a presenter to host a Webinar or meeting with live video and audio, text chat, whiteboards, shared files, and even desktop sharing offer countless opportunities for collaboration, online training, and remote assistance. 21 July 2008 11:21:00 GMT http://theroyaltreatment.wordpress.com/2008/07/02/elluminate-plan-explained-at-necc-2008/ http://theroyaltreatment.wordpress.com/2008/07/02/elluminate-plan-explained-at-necc-2008/ Elluminate’s Plan revealed at NECC 2008 adds to their Live eLearning Solutions & Collaboration. 2 July 2008 12:35:00 GMT http://elearnqueen.blogspot.com/2008/06/e-learning-queens-corgi-big-bark-awards.html http://elearnqueen.blogspot.com/2008/06/e-learning-queens-corgi-big-bark-awards.html Interdisciplinary background, diverse interests.

Elluminate is easy to use. The navigation bar is user friendly and the environment is clean and not cluttered with buttons and lists. To realize the full benefit of Elluminate one needs a high speed connection, preferrably a LAN or cable modem. 29 June 2008 12:35:00 GMT http://lindsayjordan.edublogs.org/2008/06/22/six-of-the-best-from-the-3rd-international-blended-learning-conference/ http://lindsayjordan.edublogs.org/2008/06/22/six-of-the-best-from-the-3rd-international-blended-learning-conference/ I spent two days at the Third International Blended Learning Conference last week – here’s a digest of what I picked up: 22 June 2008 12:35:00 GMT http://c4lpt.co.uk/Top100Tools/elluminate.html http://c4lpt.co.uk/Top100Tools/elluminate.html Elluminate offers a hosted solution for live e-learning and web collaboration. 24 June 2008 12:35:00 GMT http://eskimojoes08.blogspot.com/2008/06/comments-on-elluminate.html http://eskimojoes08.blogspot.com/2008/06/comments-on-elluminate.html Elluminate is an incredible way to hold distance education classes. I like the interaction and I think it is a user friendly technology. I did not have any difficulty opening up my class. I like the use of the white board and that all students could use it during class. 24 June 2008 12:35:00 GMT http://elearnqueen.blogspot.com/2008/06/how-to-use-elluminates-new-program-to.html http://elearnqueen.blogspot.com/2008/06/how-to-use-elluminates-new-program-to.html E-Learning Queen focuses on distance training and education, from instructional design to e-learning and mobile solutions, and pays attention to psychological, social, and cultural factors. The edublog emphasizes real-world e-learning issues and appropriate uses of emerging technologies. Who is the Queen? You are, dear reader. Susan Smith Nash is the Queen's assistant. 16 June 2008 12:35:00 GMT http://elluminate.edublogs.org/2008/06/16/one-size-does-not-fit-all/ http://elluminate.edublogs.org/2008/06/16/one-size-does-not-fit-all/ I love shoping, but I’m not a fan of those products that claim they are “one size fits all or most.” Because, quite often, they don’t! On the other end of the spectrum, I hate those stores that have so much product you can’t navigate the display floor. I find almost endless choices overwhelming. 16 June 2008 12:35:00 GMT http://robined693.blogspot.com/2008/06/reflections-on-using-elluminate.html http://robined693.blogspot.com/2008/06/reflections-on-using-elluminate.html Elluminate has an incredible array of functionality for teachers and students to interact at a distance. As long as the student and teacher have agreed upon a time to meet the work session can be synchronous. It is also possible for the teacher (or moderator) of the session to record the session for review later. This trumps live lectures for a lot of reasons. I don't know how many times I would like to have reviewed what I covered in a lecture, with no ability to do so. 11 June 2008 12:35:00 GMT http://robined693.blogspot.com/2008/06/reflections-on-using-elluminate.html http://robined693.blogspot.com/2008/06/reflections-on-using-elluminate.html Elluminate has an incredible array of functionality for teachers and students to interact at a distance.

At Elluminate, we define it as what happens before, during, and after the live online session. While dynamic interaction in the live virtual classroom is key to transforming teaching and learning on a global level, we wanted to look at how to leverage this real-time opportunity to enhance the experience for teachers and students as well as to promote the use of the enabling technology throughout the department, campus, and institution. 10 June 2008 12:35:00 GMT http://elluminate.edublogs.org/2008/06/04/edu-20-the-elearning-evolution/ http://elluminate.edublogs.org/2008/06/04/edu-20-the-elearning-evolution/ While live interaction in the virtual classroom is key to transforming teaching and learning on a global level, Elluminate understands that the eLearning landscape is evolving to include what happens BEFORE, DURING, and AFTER the live, online session. 9 June 2008 12:35:00 GMT http://log.oensal.net/?p=71 http://log.oensal.net/?p=71 The most exciting thing this week was to experiment with the new Elluminate chat trial. The software has definitely more features than Blackboard AV chat. It was fun to draw on the whitewall and to see perfect videos. 20 May 2008 12:35:00 GMT http://sidecap-project.blogspot.com/2008/05/moodle-ou.html http://sidecap-project.blogspot.com/2008/05/moodle-ou.html We also received a presentation by Niall Sclater, Director VLE Program which looks after the Moodle system at OU. OU has dramatically customized Moodle to suit their context. 20 May 2008 12:30:00 GMT http://jenhegna.edublogs.org/2008/05/20/free-professional-development/ http://jenhegna.edublogs.org/2008/05/20/free-professional-development/ Elluminate is widely used as a meeting space for learning. They have archived many of these events that are free for the viewing. Check out the archives by clicking here! Between the topic ideas and the presenters (some quite famous) it looks like a fabulous resource! 20 May 2008 12:24:00 GMT http://blogs.districtadministration.com/theroyaltreatment/2008/05/jack-hannah-giv.html http://blogs.districtadministration.com/theroyaltreatment/2008/05/jack-hannah-giv.html Using Elluminate Live -- www.elluminate.com -- conferencing software, animal expert and conservationist Jack Hanna ("Jungle Jack") shared his thoughts and taught over 400 students from around the country, while learning a little technology, and teaching others the technology, too. 16 May 2008 12:24:00 GMT http://techomnivore.wordpress.com/2008/05/09/ny-hall-of-sciences-virtual-visit-program/ http://techomnivore.wordpress.com/2008/05/09/ny-hall-of-sciences-virtual-visit-program/ I want to share one of my favorite local distance resources — the NY Hall of Science in Your Classroom program. For all of you who want to expand the boundaries of learning beyond your classroom and tap into the richness of distance learning experiences, look no farther than Queens, NY. 09 June 2008 12:24:00 GMT http://miriamjoyce.livejournal.com/118143.html http://miriamjoyce.livejournal.com/118143.html I realize I'm not cutting edge here or anything, but I just participated in my first "webinar," on eminent domain reform. (platform: Elluminate) It worked quite a bit better than I expected, rather nicer than the interface for the one e-class I took. 12 May 2008 10:19:00 GMT http://123elearning.blogspot.com/2008/05/day-in-life.html http://123elearning.blogspot.com/2008/05/day-in-life.html This article was published last week in the May 2008 edition of Learning and Leading with Technology magazine from ISTE as part of the 'Bloggers Cafe' series. 12 May 2008 10:18:00 GMT http://telehealthcanada.blogspot.com/2008/05/elluminate-becomes-cst-sustaining.html http://telehealthcanada.blogspot.com/2008/05/elluminate-becomes-cst-sustaining.html The Canadian Society of Telehealth has announced that Elluminate Inc has signed a Sustaining Patron agreement with the Society. 12 May 2008 10:17:00 GMT http://elearning.lse.ac.uk/blogs/clt/?p=287 http://elearning.lse.ac.uk/blogs/clt/?p=287 Today has ended up being a day for looking at web conferencing software! This morning I went with Matt to London Knowledge Lab to look at Elluminate. 12 May 2008 10:16:00 GMT http://elluminate.edublogs.org/2008/05/01/florida-virtual-school-presents-first-virtual-shakespeare-festival/ http://elluminate.edublogs.org/2008/05/01/florida-virtual-school-presents-first-virtual-shakespeare-festival/ Under the ‘what will they think of next’ category, our friends at Florida Virtual School are holding a virtual Shakespeare Festival. What a great idea! It’s a full week of speakers, activities, and even a Shakespeare Idol Contest. Check out the schedule to get some ideas of what you could be doing at your school with the help of Elluminate Live! 12 May 2008 10:15:00 GMT http://christytucker.wordpress.com/2008/04/29/my-workflow-with-synergy/ http://christytucker.wordpress.com/2008/04/29/my-workflow-with-synergy/ This is a follow-up to my post on the features of Synergy. My last post covered how Synergy works. This post focuses on how I work with Synergy, both when I’m in live online events and during my daily work. 12 May 2008 10:14:00 GMT http://www.terrywassall.co.uk/terry/2008/04/26/online-conferences/ http://www.terrywassall.co.uk/terry/2008/04/26/online-conferences/ Over Wednesday, Thursday and Friday of this week I attended the Emerge online conference Digital Communities & Digital Identities. (Josie Fraser, who did a great job organising it, has posted on this in more detail). 12 May 2008 10:14:00 GMT http://fraser.typepad.com/socialtech/2008/04/digital-identit.html http://fraser.typepad.com/socialtech/2008/04/digital-identit.html Most of my week was taken up presenting, hosting, and having a huge deal of fun at the Emerge project three day online conference, Digital Communities and Digital Identities. 12 May 2008 10:09:00 GMT http://christytucker.wordpress.com/2008/04/17/tcc08-making-distance-learning-courses-accessible/ http://christytucker.wordpress.com/2008/04/17/tcc08-making-distance-learning-courses-accessible/ Issue isn't just whether students have access, but whether the communication is actually as effective as that provided to others. It's not just whether it's possible, but how usable it is. 29 Apr 2008 10:58:00 GMT http://www.teachertube.com/view_video.php?viewkey=93d121f1a0e4729ff6a0 http://www.teachertube.com/view_video.php?viewkey=93d121f1a0e4729ff6a0 Web Tour Feature in Elluminate Live! 29 Apr 2008 10:58:00 GMT http://elluminate.edublogs.org/2008/04/22/learning-literacy-in-the-virtual-classroom/ http://elluminate.edublogs.org/2008/04/22/learning-literacy-in-the-virtual-classroom/ Can students learn literacy effectively in the virtual classroom? The answer is a resounding YES! And this blog entry, “Legitimate Literacy Instruction in the Virtual School,” explains how. 29 Apr 2008 10:56:00 GMT http://blogs.sun.com/kevinr/entry/machinto1 http://blogs.sun.com/kevinr/entry/machinto1 Another great Fire & Ice event today from Stace and the gang at Elluminate. This time the event focus is on kids affected by war around the world. As described, "The Machinto project is based on a Japanese picture book about a little girl who is killed in the Hiroshima bomb in 1945. 17 Apr 2008 10:22:00 GMT http://authorvisit.wordpress.com/2008/03/28/what-an-elluminating-experience/ http://authorvisit.wordpress.com/2008/03/28/what-an-elluminating-experience/ "This Library of Congress Experience will offer “hands-on” interaction with rare cultural treasures in ways that inspire and engage" 11 Mar 2008 10:22:00 GMT http://blendededu.com/2008/04/library-of-congress-new-interactive.html http://blendededu.com/2008/04/library-of-congress-new-interactive.html "This Library of Congress Experience will offer “hands-on” interaction with rare cultural treasures in ways that inspire and engage" 11 Apr 2008 10:22:00 GMT http://jennylu.wordpress.com/2008/04/13/from-little-things-big-things-grow/ http://jennylu.wordpress.com/2008/04/13/from-little-things-big-things-grow/ Funny how life is isn't it. Sometimes a smallish idea can manifest into something that could be great. Sue Tapp set up a Flash meeting tonight for Oz educators as an opportunity to touch base and make some connections outside of our blogs and twitter. She planted a seed and didn't even know it. It was great and I want to publicly thank Sue for making the effort to get this meeting organised - 20 people participated and it was useful but we did have problems with the setup. This led to the always thinking Sue Waters moving to ustream and then elluminate to see if they worked any better. 13 Apr 2008 14:37:00 GMT http://teachweb2.blogspot.com/2008/04/making-connections-what-are-you-afraid.html http://teachweb2.blogspot.com/2008/04/making-connections-what-are-you-afraid.html Yesterday, I observed another Elluminate session facilitated by a virtual school AP U.S. History teacher. The session was scheduled for Saturday afternoon further highlighting the need for flexibility in the virtual teachers' work schedule. 21 Apr 2008 10:22:00 GMT http://weblogg-ed.com/2008/starting-point-for-schools-articulation/ http://weblogg-ed.com/2008/starting-point-for-schools-articulation/ Yesterday I had the pleasure of spending four hours in Elluminate with Sheryl and a dozen or so of the schools that we're working with from the Southeastern states for PLP holding a “work session” around the culminating projects they'll be presenting next month. 28 Mar 2008 09:56:00 GMT http://elluminate.edublogs.org/2008/03/21/elluminate-announces-2008-centers-of-excellence/ http://elluminate.edublogs.org/2008/03/21/elluminate-announces-2008-centers-of-excellence// For the past three years, Elluminate has recognized those academic institutions and other organizations that are on the leading edge of adopting our live eLearning and web collaboration technology in innovative and creative ways. We call them Elluminate Centers of Excellence. This year we have 11 winners that have demonstrated a progressive approach to change with a goal of transforming teaching and learning. 20 Mar 2008 08:56:00 GMT http://elluminate.edublogs.org/2008/03/18/online-learning-spaces-contribute-to-student-achievement/ http://elluminate.edublogs.org/2008/03/18/online-learning-spaces-contribute-to-student-achievement/ That said, I'd like to introduce you to Alison Hancox, an award-winning distance education teacher at the Argyll Centre in Canada. She recently presented at one of our webinars, showing us how she and her students create learning spaces and e-portfolios using Elluminate Live! 20 Mar 2008 09:40:00 GMT http://www.dangerouslyirrelevant.org/2008/03/adventures-in-o.html http://www.dangerouslyirrelevant.org/2008/03/adventures-in-o.html Adventures in Online Synchronous Communication - I am really loving Elluminate this year. The facility of audio, chat, whiteboard combined with being able to import PPT files and images, videos, take polls etc etc means it is a very powerful tool for synchronous work. Yes, I know it is expensive for a school, however don't forget the free V-Room that will take 3 people and is fully functional. 20 Mar 2008 09:40:00 GMT http://etwinninguk.typepad.com/etwinning_uk/2008/03/ive-only-recent.html http://etwinninguk.typepad.com/etwinning_uk/2008/03/ive-only-recent.html Another tool for linking lots of remote locations 07 Mar 2008 10:44:00 GMT http://elearnqueen.blogspot.com/ http://elearnqueen.blogspot.com/ Elluminate Live Session 15 Feb 2008 15:34:00 GMT http://elluminate.edublogs.org/2008/02/14/do-you-moodle/ http://elluminate.edublogs.org/2008/02/14/do-you-moodle/ Do You Moodle? 14 Feb 2008 15:34:00 GMT http://elluminate.edublogs.org/2008/02/12/visual-thinkers-in-the-virtual-classroom/ http://elluminate.edublogs.org/2008/02/12/visual-thinkers-in-the-virtual-classroom/ Elluminate Live Session 13 Feb 2008 09:08:00 GMT http://elearningit.blogspot.com/2008/02/some-reflecting.html http://elearningit.blogspot.com/2008/02/some-reflecting.html Elluminate Live Session 13 Feb 2008 09:05:00 GMT http://baw08.wordpress.com/2008/02/08/elluminate-live-session/ http://baw08.wordpress.com/2008/02/08/elluminate-live-session/ Elluminate Live Session 13 Feb 2008 08:57:00 GMT http://elluminate.edublogs.org/2008/02/06/what-conferences-are-you-attenting-this-year/ http://elluminate.edublogs.org/2008/02/06/what-conferences-are-you-attenting-this-year/ What Conference are YOU attending this year? 08 Feb 2008 11:51:00 GMT http://doug-johnson.squarespace.com/blue-skunk-blog/2008/1/22/next-best-thing-to-being-there.html http://doug-johnson.squarespace.com/blue-skunk-blog/2008/1/22/next-best-thing-to-being-there.html Next best thing to being there. 21 Jan 2008 09:57:00 GMT http://beamends.typepad.com/simons_blog/2008/01/is-elluminate-t.html http://beamends.typepad.com/simons_blog/2008/01/is-elluminate-t.html Is Elluminate the Answer? 14 Jan 2008 08:40:00 GMT http://elluminate.edublogs.org/2008/01/08/when-information-technology-meets-instructional-design/ http://elluminate.edublogs.org/2008/01/08/when-information-technology-meets-instructional-design/ "When Information Technology Meets Instructional Design …" 08 Jan 2008 10:00:00 GMT http://www.chrislott.org/2008/01/07/about-elluminate/ http://www.chrislott.org/2008/01/07/about-elluminate/ "About Elluminate" 07 Jan 2008 10:00:00 GMT http://123elearning.blogspot.com/2008/01/tucking-in-2007-part-four-flat.html http://123elearning.blogspot.com/2008/01/tucking-in-2007-part-four-flat.html "Tucking in 2007 Part four: Flat Classroom Project Celebrations" 05 Jan 2008 10:00:00 GMT http://elluminate.edublogs.org/2007/12/18/achieving-online-collaborative-advantage/ http://elluminate.edublogs.org/2007/12/18/achieving-online-collaborative-advantage/ "Achieving Online "Collaborative Advantage"" 18 Dec 2007 10:00:00 GMT http://themenace1.blogspot.com/2007/12/no-teachers-in-classroom.html http://themenace1.blogspot.com/2007/12/no-teachers-in-classroom.html "No Teachers in the Classroom" 10 Dec 2007 10:00:00 GMT http://elluminate.edublogs.org/2007/12/10/5-tips-for-getting-started-in-the-virtual-classroom/ http://elluminate.edublogs.org/2007/12/10/5-tips-for-getting-started-in-the-virtual-classroom/ "5 Tips for Getting Started in the Virtual Classroom" 10 Dec 2007 10:00:00 GMT http://odysseylearn.blogspot.com/2007/12/loading-images-in-elluminate-live-tm.html http://odysseylearn.blogspot.com/2007/12/loading-images-in-elluminate-live-tm.html "Loading Images in Elluminate Live TM" 07 Dec 2007 10:00:00 GMT http://elluminate.edublogs.org/2007/12/04/fire-and-ice-initiative-connects-students-on-three-continents/ http://elluminate.edublogs.org/2007/12/04/fire-and-ice-initiative-connects-students-on-three-continents/ "Fire and Ice Initiative Connects Students on Three Continents" 04 Dec 2007 10:00:00 GMT
