Elluminate Live!® enables Chester County Intermediate Unit (CCIU) to:

• Provide real-time interaction
• Reduce expensive travel
• Increase collaboration statewide

One of 29 regional educational agencies in the state, the Chester County Intermediate Unit works with the Pennsylvania Department of Education and 12 local school districts that represent over 64,000 students and 6,000 educators. As a Center of Excellence, CCIU adds interaction to meetings and online learning activities, while eliminating travel for session participants.

One example is CCIU’s Pennsylvania Technology Leadership Academy for school board directors and business managers. “Each webinar has between 30 and 40 attendees from around the state, and we have presenters from other states as well,” explains CCIU Technology Support Specialist Diane Thomson. “Elluminate Live! is very cost-effective to use, and the platform is really transparent from both the server and client perspective. Not all our users are technologically savvy. With Elluminate, they can focus on the content, rather than the technology used.”
