Live eLearning and Collaboration Environment Facilitates Interactive Online Teaching, Learning, and Meeting for New Consortium

Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, (June 20, 2006) — Elluminate, Inc., a leading provider of live eLearning and web collaboration solutions for the real-time organization, and eCampus Alberta, a new regional consortium of 15 colleges and technical institutes, announced today that the consortium will implement Elluminate Live!® Academic Edition™ as a value-added service to its membership. Consortium member institutions will use Elluminate Live! to add synchronous content to online courses that will be made available on the eCampus Alberta web portal for learners throughout the province's large geographical footprint. In addition, eCampus Alberta will use its license of Elluminate Live! for administrative meetings and to facilitate instructor professional development, reducing travel expenses for its members.

eCampus Alberta needed a synchronous solution for use with a variety of learning management systems, including WebCT and Blackboard, and to enable province-wide access to students , even those in rural areas with limited Internet connectivity. The consortium will provide Elluminate Live! to its member institutions to facilitate a greater awareness of the eLearning environment as an effective distance education and collaboration tool and to encourage its use for the development of online courses offered on the eCampus Alberta portal website.

"As a group, our members were more impressed with Elluminate Live! than with other products for supporting online courses with synchronous-based activity. Its convenience, flexibility, and level of quality are unmatched," said Tricia Donovan, eCampus Alberta Chief Operating Officer. "Our goal is to create a culture of collaboration for our institutions, and Elluminate Live! is a tool that will further our ability to do this."

"Elluminate is proud to assist eCampus Alberta in its initiative to increase collaboration among its member institutions and to increase opportunities for distance learning for students across the province," said Shakeel Hirji, Vice President of Canadian Operations for Elluminate Inc. "Elluminate Live! will enable the consortium to build an online community of practice to facilitate communication, education, and collaboration internally and among all its members."
