Turning Reluctant Faculty into Elluminate Champions
ASU prides itself on providing an educational experience in a close knit community; this attitude can also make faculty skeptical about using technology in place of face-to-face instruction. Rather than a hard sell approach, ASU has advertised Elluminate as a tool that allows all users to connect at the same time when they cannot be in the same room. From online course instruction to virtual office hours to job interviews, ASU is building a core group of Elluminate users.
