While most eLearning and Web conferencing products are built with the mass market in mind, we take a radically different approach, elevating accessibility to a whole new level. Our No User Left Behind philosophy means that Elluminate Live! is:

Completely cross platform. Whether you have a Windows PC, Mac, Solaris, or Linux workstation, you get the same superior user experience every time.
Optimized for low bandwidth. Our all-bandwidth connectivity means that you interact with no lag time or garbled communication, regardless of Internet connection speed, even at 28.8.kbps.
Designed to enable users with disabilities to fully participate. Elluminate Live! features and functionality facilitate accessibility for all participants, including those with physical impairments.
