"Elluminate has taken our collaboration to a higher level, allowing us to merge our classrooms into one. We have weekly teacher meetings and meet more frequently as individuals. Those who are literally asleep can listen to the Elluminate recording in the morning, so we do not leave anyone out. Our student summits have people from around the world listening and asking our students questions as they present. It is literally an indispensable part of any global classroom project that wants to be flat."
- Vicki Davis, Co founder, Flat Classroom Project
"The learning experience is more than the time spent in the classroom each week. It's about building virtual networks and communities so that knowledge is acquired through dynamic, personal relationships. As a Community Partner, the DI Group works with K-12, higher education, and communities to identify ways this creative approach to learning can use Elluminate's innovative technology. Diverse proposals developed with associates include building communities to support family members involved in home health care, bringing a value added component to the new Georgia On My Line distance education program, and engaging the local geographic community members on The Virtual Porch. Going beyond the traditional uses, projects like these will open doors to new relationships, information, education, viewpoints, and solutions."
