With Elluminate Live!® Deakin University can:

• Increase collaboration and retention
• Improve student participation in the learning process
• Provide professional development for faculty and staff

Deakin University’s educational model ensures synchronous learning is a mandatory part of the curriculum for each course, increasing retention and improving collaboration and participation in the learning process. The university uses an institution-wide Elluminate Live! license to support the entire student experience, from online teaching and learning to library and student services support for off-campus students. As a Center of Excellence, Deakin makes Elluminate Live! an integral part of its online technologies to enhance cross-campus and off-campus teaching, learning, support, and administrative activities.

“Elluminate Live! is a great platform for students to share experience and understanding and build networks that are often limited for those off campus,” says Ian Smissen, director of Teaching and Learning Support Services for Deakin University. “It provides better, deeper interactions than the face-to-face classroom as the online environment seems less intimidating.”
